Lens Recommendations....?

[Tactownproductions]

Hey,
I have a T2i like many others here, and I am in the market for 3 or 4 lenses for shooting video. Could anyone suggest a few good lenses and maybe were you got them (if it's a personal reference)? Thanks

Hi,

search some older threads. there are at least 6 or more on this very question.

As Ernest says, try searching the forums - the topic's come up quite a lot recently.

If you're going to be mostly shooting video, it might be worth looking into some vintage primes; you could probably get three or four fast fully manual primes and relevant adaptors for less than £200. Not ideal for modern stills photography, but perfect for video.
