Also, usually cheaper. The good manual focus ring alone is a huge advantage. Here is a good write-up on what to look for in <a href="http://www.shutterangle.com/2012/choosing-lenses-for-video/" rel="nofollow">lenses for video</a>. Nikkors are a good options, so are Pentax Super Takumars.

The choices here shown are obvious good ones, technical speaking. Personally I miss here the 50mm 1.4 and the 70-200 2.8. The 50 gives you the best framing size. Just one step in front or back and you get the standard cine frame, and with 1.4 you can work it low light and get also the extreme Dof that a 2.8 can't.

The 24-105 and the 100-400 in particular.<br /><br />The best lenses for video are prime lenses, both for color quality and optics.<br /><br />And if you were going to use a zoom the 24-70 is wayyyy better than the 24-105 and the 70-200 is wayyyy better than the 100-400.<br /><br />Why would you even want a 400mm lens for video anyway.

Along with the usual CLA of the used lenses they are also declicked so the fstop can be smoothly pulled during filming. Unless "IS" is required most stay away from Canon lenses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
