lens recommendations for canon 5d?
 

I just picked up a 5d mark lll body. What's your favorite lens for video?

no one shooting video with a Canon 5D?

I shoot 90%+ of my photos with this lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...4L_IS_USM.html

I am using the 24-105. It's okay, I am still getting used to it.

Just make sure it is L series :thumbsup

I use a 7D

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Zoom Lens

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

:thumbsup

To shoot it well you have to approach it like shooting a movie ,no zoom lens.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
or if money is no object
Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 50mm/T2.1 Cine Lens (EF Mount)

i think those are the 2 common ones, for video the 70-200mm seems more popular (but dont use in small rooms)

My favorite lens for videos have become old Canon and Vivitar FD lenses.

I've got an adaptor to fit them all on both my Canon bodies and my Sony FS100.

Got an entire set of Canon FD primes for under $200.
