Hello, I'm back (I know its been a while but I had a baby and set up a small photography business) and I was wondering what lenses do you usually use when shooting video?
For photography I currently have my main camera as a Canon 77D with the Tamron f/2.8 17-50mm but I have a few other cameras and lenses too (everything from an ancient Nikon D40 through to gopro 8 and Canon 400D and the standard kit lenses plus things like a 70-300mm f4-5.6 macro lens etc...) but currently no 'prime lenses' of my own.
I am going to stick with my 77D body as my main for now but I have been meaning to get my own prime lenses (instead of borrowing) and was planning on a 50mm f/1.8 as it seems the gold standard for photography. However I was watching a video (while juggling small children) about famous directors and noticed it mentioned most of them use 'wide angled' lenses under 50mm, so now I'm wondering if its better to get another prime for filmmaking and if I do which would be best to go for (18mm, 28 mm, 35mm etc...)?
Thank you
