While waiting for Scarlet we are going to shoot a 45 min Dramedy in a couple of months with a 5DmarkII. I was thinking to get two lenses - Canon EF 50mm f1.2L and a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS.
Someone at Reduser said that I should get the 1.4 because the speed gain of the 1.2 is minimal and that it will be impossible to keep anything in focus anyway.
I think I agree with him. They also recommended I will get wider lenses (which is also a good point) and recommended that I will get 24 or 35mm in the cheap f2.8 or L glass at f1.4,or a 28mm f2.8 option or f1.8 usm option.
Any recommendation? Is there a good wide (lets say 35-70) constant t stop zoom lens that can cover these ranges or should I get a 28 mm? or the 24?? HELP!
