Hey, man..
Which canon lenses you use more often?
I mean, there is the 8-15 fisheye, probably the most used lens for skate... even people who use Sony cameras, normally put the canon fisheye on it...
Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens 4427B002 B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com)
Maybe there will be a new one with RF mount coming:
Patent: Canon RF 11-24mm f/4L and Canon RF 8-24mm f/4L Fisheye | Canon Rumors - Your best source for Canon rumors, leaks and gossip
But my question is, what about the telephoto smooth zooming kind of lens?
I'm a skater myself, I want to buy a kit, but have not decided about Canon or Sony. I have seen some people praising the Sony pz 18-105 f4 (APSC).
I've serched for Canon PZ lenses, without success. So, is there a Canon lens i can zoom smoothly? Power Zoom is really necessary?
Holy jeez!!! An 8-24mm RF?!!! That sounds magical! Yes, the Canon 8-15 is pretty much the standard in professional skateboard film making. I was days away from purchasing one until a buddy of mine told me about the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye. Now there’s two types of that lens. One with and one without the lens hood. You want the one without it. Ideally you want to pair with a full frame camera for maximum distortion and vignette since that’s the common look of professional skate videos.
I’ll share with you my set up. I’m shooting with an R6. I keep it rigged with a cam caddie scorpion EX. If you get that I recommend the cheese plate so you can tripod mount from time to time and definitely get the “lock out” kit as well (or just get the “Pro Kit” that comes with everything). My zoom is the RF 24-240. It is a dream. In body stabilization, lens stabilization and a touch of digital stabilization has improved my footage greatly, as far as smooth zooming…. Tons of practice and repetition. Here’s the latest flick I posted on yesterday where I use the zoom extensively. Hope this helps
