35 mm Lens?

[Jessegouldsbury]

I ran a search and nothing came up -- sorry if this has been answered before.

I just bought a "Letus35 Extreme" with the "Letus Canon EF / EOS Mount" But I'm not sure which lens I should get for it. I'm looking for something fairly cheap and i'll be shooting with the panasonic DVX-100b and the Cannon XHA1

I was wondering if any one here would know a lens to recommend?

You'll be certainly looking at the Canon 50mm f/1.8. However, in order to change the aperture, you'd need a canon SLR camera (like the 400D) to attach it to, then you set the f-stop, push the depth of field test button then, while holding down the button, taking the lens off the camera.

You can pick it up for about £80 with some filters and some cleaning equipment if you look around enough.

You'll also be wanting to get a 28mm lens as well. 50mm and 28mm are your basic set, plus you might want a standard zoom (28-80mm or something along those lines).

Also, don't get any EF-S lenses, as these will not work with your camera. They are designed specially for D-SLR with smaller sensors.

I would have gone for the nikon or canon fd mount adapter because you can find well built old lenses for cheap online and most fd lenses have manual iris
