schoeps Vs Neumann

Hiya im in the market for a new mic and have been using the schoeps
Cmit and the schoeps mk 41, the cmit for wides outside/inside and then
the Mk41 for inside tights and two shots. I have just come off a film
where as the AD put it he has never worked on a film with so little
coverage, so what i mean is some times all you get is the wide and
thats it and this can make life very difficult, and some times the
headroom in the shot is massive and the reach of the mk41 doesnt do it
and the cmit is pretty good but is there any other one that people can
recomend, i have heard about the Neumann KMR 82 / 81, are these the
ones to go for does the 82 have more of a reach than the cmit and the
81?
Thanks in advance,
Alan Scully

A long shotgun will have more "reach" than a shorter mic but the
pattern is narrower due to more off axis rejection. You can't go wrong
with a Neumann 81 or 82.
