Which Lens should I buy for my Canon T2I for Shooting videos ?

Question by : Which Lens should I buy for my Canon T2I for Shooting videos ?
I Just bought a Canon T2i Rebel on ebay. It’s on it’s way. Should be here tommorow or the day after. My primary intention is to make videos. Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy High end cameras , which is why I bought this lowest end High Quality camera with additional softwares to make movies..

I will be Shooting movies . That’s my primary focus and I can spend right now just enough for ONE lens. I know it will make sense if I had enough cash to have enough lens in my Arsenel. But unfortunately that’s not the case with my financial situation. Which One lens would you reccomend that would cover me? The lens in your answer will be what I will be using to shoot next week! I will be making movies ( No long/distant shots .. )

Thanks.
I am not sure how much the cheapest lens cost. But I can spend $ 100-$ 150 . At the Most !!- $ 200…

Did you buy the camera with the 18-55 IS lens? If so, it works very well. I know because I use mine all the time for video – in fact, since it’s the only IS lens I own, I use it exclusively for video.

However, since you think you’ll be doing mostly video here’s something that I own that will be of great benefit to you. Again, I know, because as I said I own and use one.

Since you can’t use the view finder for video, this little gem will allow you to really see and focus for video… it’s just excellent.

Good Luck
