Me and my friend are planning on shooting something over the summer and I thought this would be a good time to invest in a new lens. Right now I only have two kit lenses that came with the camera. What is a good lens that I can get that will be flexible enough to do most things in filming a short film? I understand that I will not be able to do the whole thing with just one lens.

My gear: Nikon D5600, Nikkor 18-55mm and Nikkor 70-300mm https://snaptube.cam/.

I am willing to buy a converter so if you have a good Canon or Sony lens please don't hesitate to drop it down there.

I am shooting for a lens from $500-$800. Any suggestions would be super helpful!

Hello everyone,,

I know that anamorphic lenses warp the image, which would mean that you can't play a take back to see how it looked. How would you shoot this way https://snaptube.cam/ https://9apps.cam/ ?

Do you basically just shoot like you're shooting it on film (by making sure that the scene looks as good as possible, but getting the coverage needed, just in case)?

Or, how can/should you shoot on anamorphic?
