[DekHog]

Not being a fan of video on D-SLR's, I must say I was more than slightly impressed with this effort....

... oh no, not the horrible camera I was referring to, it was the lovely glass that it's using...

That lens looks pretty good! How much do these go for? Any shots taken with that lens about?

You can find the lens on eBay, and online; also sold under other brand names which elude me right now - sells for around £220 but is manual focus only....

I only just recently discovered how much difference good glass can have on video on the 7d. Of course I knew it would make a difference but since it's moving image I just figured the difference was negligible.

Then I filmed my nephew with the 100mm 2.8L and was amazed and the sharpness:

I love the 3D feeling a shallow DOF gives to a video recording! Got to give it a go soon on my 7D, although the best I can do is f2 at the moment (I miss my f1.4 lenses)
