MKH 50 for outdoors
 

I currently have a MKH 8060 and an Audix for indoor use. I have heard that others have used the MKH 50 successfully outdoors. I primarly shoot interviews indoors and out. Would it be beneficial to me to sell the 8060 and pick up the MKH 50 for my indoor work and outdoor work? I understand that the 8060 is a shotgun mic, but for interviews outside I do not think the MKH 50 would let you down with it's reach and ability to reject sound from the sides. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

I'd keep the 8060 and the Audix (assuming it's the SCX1-HC). With interviews, we usually have some level of control, so the Audix should sound very good. The MKH 50 is a really good mic, and would work outdoors.. but it ain't a shotgun, when you need that 'reach'.
