Good DSLR Lenses For Video

[Riley Owen]

Hey Guys,

Do you guys know any good (and cheap) DSLR video lenses for video. Like the ones bigger YouTubers use that give a nice depth of field and good lighting?

Yeah, I've been looking at that one, but I'm just exploring my options

Greaty, and You have options in that too 50mm f 1.8 , 50mm f 1.4 etc . At starting 50mm f 1.8 is more than enough.

Can you please tell whats the difference between f 1.8 and f 1.4?

I've seen most DSLR cameras using 18-55mm & 55-250mm lens kits, if that is helpful in any way.

18mm-55mm is the one i have now and comes with the camera. haven't seen the 55mm -250mm one though

I'd go with the 50mm f1.8 as it's closest to what your eyes see, basically anything f 2.8 or wider. 35mm will give your face distortion but good for getting in a wide set or background. 85mm f 1.8 works good for closeups.

get a 50mm f1.8 is a must for every photographer/videographer.
It is a lens that every video/photographer will get in their camera bag.
