Excited about youtube videography... what lenses?

[MetroRuss]

Hi All,

I know youtube has been around a long time but I just caught the bug and now I really want a new lens or two. Darnit I need a flash or two as well...... wife will make me trade body parts for photography equipment.

I have been needing a uwa for a long time now and it seems I have been a good hubby recently. I have landed a 360 shoot for a large furniture store so I want to get either a sigma 10-20 (slower one) or a tokina 11-16. What lens will be better suited for me to use for interior architecture and dslr videos shot with my a 57. Ive got a 24 inch slider and a dslr stabelizer.

I think the faster tokina would be better. But I am no lens wizard.

Please help me decide or if you have a better suggestion for under $700 it would be appreciated greatly.

Rokinon has a few uwa lenes for the a-mount. I have a 12mm 2.0 for my NEX-7 (e-mount) and have been very impressed with it. Check out their website. Rokinon.com Rokinon 16mm T 2.0 Aspherical Wide Angel Lens for Sony A Mount - 16mm T 2.0 Aspherical Wide Angle

I would definitely go for the fastest lens if you're going to be shooting indoors.

For video, constant lights work better than flash (strobe lights).
Flash units cannot cycle and flash at video frame rates - 25 to 60 times per second.
