Favorite Shotgun Mics?

[Alexis Hanawalt]

What are people's favorites? I'm happy to roll with an ME-66/K6, but it just seems so "normal." 4k is upping the ante, so I'd like to have cleaner audio to match.

This site is a pretty cool playground for the ears: http://dvcreators.net/shotgun-shootout/

What do people recommend?

When I stepped up from a DVX100A/ME-66, I got the Sennheiser MKH 416. At the same time, I stepped up from a Lectrosonics UCR100/LM combo to a Lectrosonics UCR401/LM combo. A Shoeps CMC6/MK41 will probably be next.

We've already got a thread about shotgun mics. :) It was in the ENG/EFP section, but I've just moved it over. Lots of good reading, let's continue the discussion.
