Considering the recent announcement of Schoeps' price-increase, I may have to choose a different mic.
Particularly this one... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/532788-REG/Sennheiser_MKH_8050_MKH_8050_CMPCT_MDLR_SET_.html
I really love the size and weight of it, and it's been compared quite favourably to the CMC641 from what I've seen on message boards so far. I've heard a few recordings that sounded great to me, but I'm no audiophile so I can't really trust my own ears.
My concern is that most of what I read were from message boards for live music taping, and not for film work.
Does anyone plan to try out these new Sennheiser mics for film work?
