Henry Cohn Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I would like to hear your thoughts on what sort of lens is best for photographing something with little to no depth. I'm not considering a multiplane set-up but would be pleased to also hear thoughts on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haris Mlivic Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I might be wrong, but I'd say any lens. If its a flat surface, it doesnt really matter. You're obviously going to get less distortion with a 50mm than a 15mm, but other then that just find a sharp lens :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 7, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes, as Haris says, you'd generally use a medium focal length with close-focusing capability for animation stand work to avoid any distortions that a wide-angle lens causes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Cohn Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks. If it doesn't make any difference, I'll probably just set a zoom lens to around 50mm. I decided to ask this on yahoo answers, where it was recommended that I use a macro lens or a process lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
