Lmao you can’t be serious. A7RV bundled with 28-70 f/2.8 gmii from B&H: $5746 A Leica M11, the fcking base model, is $9840. A 50mm Summicron ASPH is $9945. You can get a pro grade Sony with a pro lens for less than half the cost of a Leica body or a prime Leica aspherical lens. The value proposition

I work in film and use this type of gear pretty often. Seems like this dude wants you to rent this stuff so he can take pictures of the gear lol completely unnecessary especially if this is a photo first gig. If I was hired for this type of gig and I only had an A1 I would ask for maybe a rental for
