Hi guys, I might be asking a question that i might not be able to get answered,but here go's.
Im recording Video footage for a Friends Lan Event. its going to be over a weekend in June and there hoping to have around 60+ people attending.
As its going to be pritty much 48hours of Gaming Madness i want to capture alot. The camera is going to be mounted to a tripod,which will either have wheel's or be mounted to a flat bed trolly (im thinking this one would be best as i can stand on it and have someone push it)
What i want is something that gives me a wide shot,as well as something that zooms close slightly.
This weekend i was using my Kit lens,which was okay, but it performed quiet poor when zoomed,and not too much better when it was wide.
I was thinking of hiring an Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM or a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM.
The difference will be that the L lens doesent have Is. But im thinking it wont matter too much as it will be on a tripod.The advantage of having the Ef-S lens would be that its simular in that the way it focuses to my kit lens. So i can practise with my lens.
If there are any better options out there,i wouldnt mind hearing them. Thanks for the imput and time
