Hello,
Just some background, new to FF and got the XT3 (switched from Nikon). I shoot landscape & travel stills, but want to shoot short handheld B-roll/slow-mo cinematic videos; I am brand new to videography and so starting from square one.
I picked up the 10-24 f/4 OIS. I want the 16-55 f/2.8 for the flexibity of wide landscapes & bokeh/shallow DOF stills. My prev APS-C Nikon, I used 12-24mm f/4 & 17-55mm f/2.8 for stills only.
My main question is since XT3 doesn't have IBIS, how essential is it for handheld B-roll vids? Should I get the non-OIS 16-55mm because of its flexiblity for stills & video; esp at 55mm is handheld usable??? Or non-f/2.8 zoom that has OIS for video (kit 18-55 or 18-135mm) AND a wide prime for stills (16 or 23 or 35mm 1.4)? I know this decision is obviously up to me, but again I know nothing about videography & have no experience lol.
Anticipated lens set up:
Still Photography
-10-24 OIS
-16 or 23 or 35 1.4 non-OIS
Videography
-10-24 OIS & 18-55 OIS or 18-135 OIS
or
-10-24 OIS & 16-55 2.8 non-OIS
Thank you, I'd really appreciate the input!
