The Canon 35mm F2.0, image stabilized lens is a unique offering in prime lenses. The key aspect of this lens that makes it different is it's image stabilizer (IS). 

I've been wanting to test out this lens for quite awhile because it has a lot of the features I would look for in a lens for shooting DSLR video. It's compact, not too heavy, well built, has a decent sized focus ring, a larger aperture for low light shooting and shallow depth of field, wide enough focal length for a crop sensor DSLR and IS for handheld shots all in a price less than $600. 

This could be a great first lens considering all the things it offers in a single lens. That said, a zoom lens may be a better choice if you find that you need multiple focal lengths especially if you need longer lengths for shooting video from a distance.
