thanks. yeah, I figured longer focal lengths would minimize bumping the camera during the animation process.

thanks everyone, i'll look into the old nikon nikkor lenses. Are their any particular "essential" focal lengths i should consider?

thanks for the advice, i'll likely go with a wide angle stills lens. Also, would zoom lenses be adequate for stop motion or would it be more practical to use fixed prime lenses?

I'm looking to get a lens to use for a stop motion film and am not quite sure on the type of lens to use. Would it be recommended to us a cine lens or a stills lens? Would their be any benefit to using a cine lens over a stills lens? I'm currently using a 90mm macro lens and am looking to get another. Any informative advice would be greatly appreciated.
