Eos 7d Lens Recommendation
DSLR Film Lens Recommendations?

I am about to purchase a Canon EOS 7D for filming purposes and I was wondering what is the first lens I should buy for it…

The most recent incarnation of the original IS lens, the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM was introduced in October 2005. While being physically very similar to the original lens (within a few mm in size and a few gm in weight), there were some optical and mechanical differences. The EF 70-300/4-5.6 IS USM is 5mm wider at the wide end, uses a single UD glass element, and has a revised AF system (though it still uses a micro USM motor rather than a ring USM). It also has a zoom lock at the 70mm position to prevent “zoom creep” while the lens is being carried and it has a dual mode 3rd generation IS system which allows horizontal panning.
