[kellyD]

Hi everyone wanna get some recommendation and
Best lens for videoshoot for 70D.
I tot of getting the
Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 and 18-35 F1.8

In my opinion, it would be better for you to get Canon lens with STM function. The STM function was made for video recording.

Bodies come and go but a set of these cine lenses will always be a good investment:

Note Bower/rokinon are marketed as Samyang in Singapore.
Avaialble in many mounts but stick with EF as EF seem to be the first mount that adapter/accessory makers wull support.
Fullframe lenses are definitely more adaptable than APS-C/MFT lenses and will be compatible with any body you will buy in the future.

Tkz, actually I am leaning more to rokinon/samyang and the new one 10mm...
well no IS means I need always to be on tripod/monopod??
never use an UWA before thus with the silly Q
Anyone using this already?

If you are doing more run-and-gun, handheld work, cine lenses may be too heavy to handle especially the UWA.
A lighter, handier type of lens are the manual nikon pre-AI/AI/AIS. These are great bargains and produce beautiful results on video. You can just get lenses in 52mm filter thread to save on weight. Available in 52mm threads are:
AIS 24mm f2
AIS 28mm f2
AIS 35mm f1.4
non AI 50mm f1.4
AI 85mm f2
AI 105mm f2.5
AIS 135mm f2.8

If size and handling is an issue, avoid the Samyang 10mm. The filter thread is 77mm.
Even the Canon EF 10-22mm f3.5 looks smaller next to it!
Try the Samyang 14mm f2.8 instead as it is available without the heavier cine gear casing.

Tks for the info Bamboopictures , but what about stability as some canon come with IS
but samyang I believe they do not have IS...

 

[Bamboopictures]

Manual lenses have no electronics whatsoever. No IS, no motors, no power needed. That's why they can be smaller than AF lenses. In-lens IS is more of an asset for still photographers but it's not going to help much for video which will require sensor stabilisation rather than lens stabilisation. Case in point, OMD's 5 axis stablisation. Short of that, good technique and practice will be more effective than any electronic stabilisation can provide in unassisted handheld situation. (using the forehead, knuckles, elbows,knees, pelvis,gravity, camera strap etc)
