I am sure this has been covered but I have spent hours to find the right answer... so if you could point me to the right thread that would be great.

Little background, I am setting up a little studio for a ministry I work for and I am purchasing three cameras. I am ordering two FS7 with Fujinon MK18-55mm and the third camera is FS5 but I cannot figure out what lens to go with it. The FS5 will be used as a wide shot for 2-3 people interview type show and on a Rhino slider for some programs. I picked the FS5 as the third camera so I could also use it for traveling, I wanted something that I could use handheld and is light weight. I cannot make up my mind after a lot of research what is a good lens that I can use handheld and would work on a slider inside a studio. I guess what I am asking is what could be good lens with image stabilization and fairly fast.

Any advice would be much appreciated :)
 
Seems the 18-55 would also be a great lens on the fs5, no?

You can always run the 24-105 canon (or sigma) with a metabones speed booster. That end result is roughly 17-75 f2.8 lens with IS.
 
Hi Wes, thank you for your quick reply. I had seen that option and it looks good to me. The Fujinon MK18-55mm seemed to big when I was holding it and no IS... so I was hoping for something little smaller and less cash as I am buying two of the Fujinon for FS7. I have used NX5 for few years and some C100 ii so going this route is a little new to me. I appreciate it!!!
