cheap DIY rig?

khaye1 · 11-22-2009, 03:24 PM

okay guys, I'm fascinated by rig shots and would like to start taking some of my own. I've been reading some tutorials, but would like some inputs from you guys.

1. what's the cheapest, bang for the buck lens could I get?
2. again what's the cheapest rig I could assemble from home depot parts, break down would be appreciated

FYI...I just took up the hobby, I have a Canon XS with the 18-55mm kit lens and 75-300mm. I'm planning on buying a 50mm and 17-35mm.
