Hello! I'm a beginner-intermediate photographer from the Midwest. My current camera is a T2i, but I'm looking to buy a more advanced camera more suitable for video and better image quality. I was looking into full-frames, but they're too expensive. I'm thinking about picking up a brand new Canon 70D with the 18-55 kit for $650, but I want a nicer lens than the standard kit piece of garbage. What lenses should I check out? I really want a nice wide angle on top of that too, and I was looking at the Rokinon 14mm. I just don't know what's all compatible with the awesome focus attributes of the 70D, which I really want to take advantage of. If you guys could help me off on the right foot in research, I would be beyond grateful!

I've attached some samples of photos I've taken with my T2i (hopefully it works)! Check them out and feel free to give me some feedback. Thanks guys.
