As mentioned, I got my camera with the Canon 18-135mm lens. One quick hint for those with zoom lenses…
If you want to keep that ‘cinematic’ look, use your zoom lens as a series of primes. That is to say, stick to prime lens lengths rather than zooming to something that’s in between. My lens has markings for 18, 24, 35, 50, 85, 135mm and so I use only those lengths during a shoot.
Sometimes you don’t have any choice but to use an odd focal length because it’s the only way you can get the framing you need, and it’s a subtle thing but by sticking to set prime lens lengths, you will end up with a much more consistent look to you film.
