I just bought the 70D and I'm wondering what the best lens is to use while shooting video.

Sep 13, 2013 05:37 | #6 Without knowing your style, id say the 40mm pancake makes a nice video lens. Fast and silent STM Focus motor, great focal length on crop and nice Bokeh. Fastest lens of all STM lenses (f/2.8) Sony A7RII | Sony A7S

After thinking about it, id say, go for a mic if you want to do serious. When taking a fast lens (as none of the STM's are really fast) you get very high quality IQ... Sony A7RII | Sony A7S

Maybe an external microphone is a better option than a dedicated video lens. http://www.rodemic.com/mics/stereovideomicpro You do not ever want to use IS when filming. Ever.
