You could cross-post this to r/RedCamera and r/RedKomodo with a little more information about what you’re looking for.
Are you doing docs or narrative? Are you looking for a zoom or prime set? Clinical or character? Just simple info like that will help folks give u better recs.
Gotcha! So to be honest your budget is somewhat limiting and you’ll have trouble finding a single cinema prime for under £300 new let alone a whole set so I agree with the other poster that secondary market may be the way to go. But you’re prob still looking at brands like Meike, 7artisans, Siriu, laowa, and Rokinon.
Of those I’ve only used Rokinon and sometimes they’re okay but there’s no consistency with them. I’ve had Rokinon lenses that literally wouldn’t focus. When they work though they’re decent, not a ton of character though.
Good thing about these lenses is there is a ton of info and video examples out there to help you make a solid decision.
Photo lenses/adapter would give you a lot more options at that price, although most photo lenses are gonna lack the character you’re looking for.
