What the best lens for a Canon 7D movie?




Oily skyes


I what to make a movie with a my canon 7D what lens would take the best quality possible? I would just like to know what the best would be for HD video.


Answer
As someone who shoots both Nikon and Canon, I know what I'd use for both and quite frankly my answer is largely the same.

For a 7D, you'll want a fast (light sensitive) midrange zoom, a telephoto, and a normal lens. The lenses I'd use for the job are the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L or f/4L, depending on budget constraints, and finally a 35mm f/1.8. In a pinch, the 35 alone will suffice because it will, on your camera, capture effectively what your eye sees. It won't zoom, but just move as needed; you'll be pleased with the results that one lens alone, or with the other two, will deliver. The next person who answered recommended the 24-70. It's a great lens, for the 5D Mark II and other full frame bodies. On your 7D, it will hardly be wide at all and it'll cost you an arm and a leg, but at least it will work on full frame unlike the EF-S should you ultimately decide to upgrade. Hope I helped.
