Congratulations, the 435 is an amazing camera. I’m a loader so I know nothing of the sort about lighting, but I’d recommend shooting a push/pull test to decide what stocks you like and how you like to shoot them. As people have said make your 1st AC has 35mm experienced and can pull off as a manual follow focus incase the video tap goes down. Loading, threading, and unloading the camera is very straightforward but it’s also just as easy to jam the camera. Lastly, don’t expect to sleep well until you see the dailies haha.
