7D film lens

_Leary_

Hey guys,

I'v recently added a stills camera, a Canon 7D, to my workflow for video. I'v googled the shizz out of lens and whats best for what, etc etc but most articles seem to be 1year+ old so I thought maybe you guys might have some fresh experience.

Basically I'v purchased a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM for those nice close up's and for low light situations, however I was wondering what you guys might recommend as a good general wide angle lens, currently I'm considering the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 ATX 116.

Any suggestions from you guys who might use this camera for film work would be a great help. I have a budget of about 500-600 euro for it.

Cheers

Nothing has changed about lenses in a year...
Take a look at the EF-S 10-22:

Won't fit a full frame SLR if you upgrade to a 5D down the road.

For a super wide (fish-eye) lens the Samyang 8mm now comes with smooth aperture adjustment ring and follow focus teeth.

This made me chuckle...

Such modifications allow for extremely precise control over focus and depth of field during filming.

Focus & DoF on that lens is enormous even when opened up.

Yeah, I was wondering how precise you need the adjustment, everyone that has one seems to say that they just set it once and snap away.
