Cannon 60D best lens for Video?

[d2_gosh]

Hi everyone! I have a cannon 60D and when Im doing a video it does not focus when it comes to a close off... I dont know if its the lens ( 18-135 mm )? Ive tried editing the video settings but still it wont focus when something is close to the camera.. Can you help me to set the camera for good video focus? Or please recomend me a good lens for it! Thank you

The 60d doesn't auto focus. Only the t4i with the STM lenses do.


Edit: I read that all wrong. I'm sorry... Lol depending on what your budget is and what you're wanting to do.

The 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.8 is tack sharp for anything.

How close to the camera does it stop focusing? I'm thinking maybe you need something more like a macro lens if you're shooting within a couple feet.

Canon 60D instead of - Cannon 60D.

From CanonUSA.com - Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

The minimal distance a lens can focus is 30 cm. If you want to get closer you should try a macro lens.
