550D Gig lens and other equipment.
I'm currently using a 550d with just the normal stock lens. It's done me fine but i definitely feel as though i need to add to my arsenal.
I was firstly looking at the Canon 50mm 1.8 but i was curious if 50mm for gigs may put me too close to the subject? I was also looking at a wide angle, I saw the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 and to me currently it's way out of my price range. Also, what do you guys think about the D|focus? from D|Focus - The Affordable Follow Focus System - dfocussystem.com I should really bite the bullet about how costly this profession is ahaha. Cheers. |

You should also consider the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. It's wider, faster, and better built than the Canon 50mm f/1.8.

Concerning the D Focus, I've had it for a few months now and it's done a great job. One of the gears did start to slip a bit after a month of heavy use but I contacted the company who promptly got back to me on what to tighten, getting it back into full working order. |
