Nobody said this life was cheap. And you not gonna be shooting video with any of those lenses anyway so it wasn't worth mentioning. Just use lens it comes with and shoot in decent lighting and you'll be fine.
I thought I needed a 35mm lens for the cinematic feel at least

I'm reading that the kit lense doesn't let I enough light ?

The kit lens covers 16mm - 50mm

You'll be able to shoot at 24mm which will give you a 35mm cinematic look. NO you won't be able to shoot in shytty light conditions and get great results with it, but if you have decent light you will be fine. You said you trying to use it for video, so if that's the case you gonna have to have decent lighting. What kind of shooting conditions are you talking about shooting breh?

Both the videos you shared have good lighting, so unless you trying to do some Blair Witch Project type shyt you will be fine

So what photo editing software yall rocking with:lupe:

I'm torn between Affinity (due to the one time purchase and customization options) and Corel Paintshop which seems a bit underrated in the photography game. I don't want to drop 9.99 a month for Photoshop:camby:
lightroom, if i switch to all fuji, then i might go over to alienware x3

thats why i said used breh
you can get a used gf2/3 for like 50 bucks
even a canon t1i for under 200

you get more bang for your buck with a camera you can change the lens

i still have a gf2 for video once hacked its :blessed:

and the photos are great, i took all of these with a gf2

I bought my canon 6d used and like the past 3 lenses I bought were used

even look on craiglist or your local pawn shop can prob find something great for cheap

Happens to us all,
But like what brehs on here have said you'll go from breathing heavily and buying a 50mm lens for 100 to six mknths from now breathing heavily and copping a lens for 400 to then breathing heavily and buying a 1,000 dollar lens

You can't stop once you start , you just can't

I got my eye on the 70-200 2.8 is ii lens ish is like two grand

I know I'll bite the bullet it's just when :to:

You could have warned me that the lenses cost more than the damn camera breh :wow:

Which lens do you got and how much do did you pay

I'm thinking these shyts are 20 to 30 dollar attachments :mjcry:.

I hear prime lenses are the best, recommend me 2 must haves focal lengths in your opinion
