H Harty Member Jul 29, 2007 #1 Hi. I have the standard 20x lens with the XL2 but am wanting to record some interviews. Is this lens okay - or do I need the 3X lens? The interviews will be in a studio environment with talent recorded in front of a backdrop.

V VIDEOMIKE Active member Jul 30, 2007 #2 If you don't need the camera close for mic pickup and your on a tripod your proabley better off with the 20x its a sharper lens. The 3x offers better balance and allows you to get closer if your depending on your on camera mic. Hope this is helpfull Last edited: Jul 30, 2007

H Harty Member Jul 30, 2007 #3 Thanks. You've just saved me NZ$3000. I'll have the talent correctly miked with an ME66.
