what lens should i buy for this camera, a good all-rounder that focuses well, takes wide narrow angles?

[LovundProduction]

@suscribe4more What is your budget? It really all depends on that.

[suscribe4more]

@LovundProduction under 100

[LovundProduction]

@suscribe4more Dollars, I assume? In that case you should buy the 50 mm f1.8. You can find it on ebay for under 100 dollars.

[suscribe4more]

@LovundProduction and the 50mm f1.8 is better than the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6?

[LovundProduction]

@suscribe4more The 18-55mm usually comes along with the camera, so you'll get two lenses. The 50mm is indeed a better lens but it only covers one focal length, so it shouldn't be the only lens you got. Do a search on youtube for "50mm f1.8 test footage" or similar. It is very difficult to keep things in focus with the 50mm, though, but it gets easier after a while.

@onlyBIZZAR Anytime! You will not be sorry! I'll be upgrading to the 1.4 in the not so distant future. I'm also looking on the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L lens. Can't wait! :)

[onlyBIZZAR]

@LovundProduction Okay first thanks for the great answer, I think I will buy a 50mm 1.4 and a Glidecam XR-1000

50mm 1.4 because the quality is much better I think

[LovundProduction]

@onlyBIZZAR No, that was with a wideangle lens. I would strongly recommend you to buy a 50mm, you have to decide if it's 1.4 or 1.8. The 1.8 is so darn cheap and is the best bang for the buck, but it have a very small focus ring. It's also made of plastic. If you plan on using rigs with followfocus, buy the 1.4 as it have wider focus ring and is generally better built.

So:

Just starting: Buy the 50mm 1.8

Going to get / Have shoulderrigs etc: 50mm 1.4

[onlyBIZZAR]

1:12 with the 50mm f1.8?

Would you recommend me to buy a 50mm 1.4?
