C100: Best optics for new autofocus?

[benjaminwraae]

Tommorow I´ll get my upgraded c100!

Up until now I´ve been using Nikon optics with adapter.

So I´m gonna buy a canon optic. I´m looking at the canon 17-55mm

Anyone have any experience with that one and the autofocusupgrade?

The STM lenses work the best with dual pixel. But the others work real nice too. So, once you have your camera upgraded take it down to the camera store and look at a few lenses. I would look at what you listed, the 17-55 but then also mount the 18-135 STM so that you see the difference.

Thanks for info! As a documentaryfilmaker I´m pretty exited about this upgrade.

How will the 70-200 Version I work with AF? I use this lens often during live stage performances.

So I got the camera today. And the Tokina 11-16 mm is working very good

Ben, do you have any Sigma lenses? I'm wondering how the 18-35 works.

 

[benjaminwraae]

No I only have the Tokina (Normally I use Zeiss and nikon) But tonight I´m buying 17-55 f2.8

test please
+ sound AF

I'm most interested in how the af performs while zooming. Does it continually hold and track focus?

Im shooting a documentaryfilm for the next 3 weeks (In Ghana) With the Tokina 11-16 and canon 17-55 and autofocus.

I can´t post anything because i´m busy but I will test it everyday, and write some posts.

Until now i´m very positive. As a documentaryfilmmaker it´s a small revolution this autofocus. It works. It´s fast and I can shoot so more freely. The noise I have to test.

Benjamin
