Hi Guys
Just wondering if anyone has any lenses they could recommend to me for making a documentary film. I have the Canon 5D mark ii so they must be EF lenses.
I asked a friend today what he thought of the Canon 50mm f1.4 and he said it would have a "tight pinch". Dont understand quite what he meant, as I thought that lens would have been a pretty good lens to make a documentary with.
Shots I'll be including are sort of interview types with a darker backdrop.. softbox lighting. Also, "a day in the life of....." will be included in this same documentary. I have the 28-135mm lens at the moment. It's not a bad lens but I can see the draw backs of it already. Im very new to DSLR and video.. so please bear with my ignorance.
Thanks
Chris
