Hey guys,
I do a lot of video taking with my Canon 550D + 50mm 1.8 II prime, which is brilliant, however I've hit one problem and that is the distance I need to hold an object (smartphone in my case) in front of the camera just to get it in focus, as Canon 550D is a crop sensor camera. I need to take close ups of handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets, so that I can show some details of the hardware.
I have therefore decided that I would invest in a new lens, which would be more ideal for this kind of job. I usually shoot outside, however I do like to take videos inside as well, so low light videotaking at a decent performance is a must.
Could you recommend a good lens (lenses)? Thanks in advance for your valuable time!
