Which lens?

Been experimenting with some videography and feel way too limited with the lenses I have. I have been looking at the Canon 10-18, Canon 10-22, and the Tokina 11-16 lens. Wondering which one NS preferred or had any other recommendations? Thanks!

tokina 11-16 will probably be your best bet. It's pretty commonly used on newschoolers

For crop body wide angles, the Tokinas take the cake, for sure. The Canons are variable aperture and have poorer build quality.

11-16 f2.8, or 12-24 f4. Both are awesome. The former is faster/Slightly lower distortion. The latter has more zoom range and costs at least 100$ less on the used market while being a stop slower.
