Lenses / Lenses for Interviewing Suggestions
« on: December 11, 2012, 04:16:38 PM »
Hi guys,
Just asking a little advice, basically I'm doing a production where I'll be filming a number of short interviews in office/business style environments, with very little/none outdoor or moving around shots. So I'm focusing on getting very good still/tripod shots for it and I'm slightly torn between which lenses to buy.
We have around a £3k budget for camera and lenses, and I'm looking at a 5D MK III with Canon lenses, either:
50mm f/1.4 and a 24-105mm f/4.0
or a 50mm f/1.8 and a 24-70mm f/2.8
I don't know whether it would be better to get the cheaper prime so I can get the larger aperture on the Zoom, or whether I should do it the other way round.
What would your guys suggestions be?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Gary
