I'm in need of help, i have no idea what to do.

Next week i have the joy of getting to watch a rocket launch, on my fucking birthday (24th).

I am beyond excited but no idea what lens to bring, have any of yall done this?

Its going to be at 6:45PM and will launch 4 miles away from where i will be standing. (LC-39 Observation Gantry)

My friend has a electronic cannon adapter, so i plan on renting a nice lens, but no idea what to get.

>hes also lending me an F4 200m with an x2 adapter (old m42 lens)
>found cannon 70-200m f2.8 $14/day
>found sigma 50-500mm f4.5-6.3 $18/day

should i get the cannon and also rent one of those x2 adapters? (does that even work like i think it does)

I dont want to get like retarded close though, i want to be able to still shoot an artiscily pleasing shot.

If it was a day shoot i probably wouldn't even be asking, i just want to be able to get nice sharp images, no idea if the f6 is going to mean shit once they light the candle, or if i need a faster lens. If im lucky i might even be able to borrow his fullframe instead of using my sony (or ill just be a faggot and setup like 4 cameras)

>no one locally rents the sony lenses
bastards


Here's a video shot on an iphone to give you an idea of what i'll be seeing (supposedly 35mm equiv) (not mine obviously)
