    Tokina 11-16 if you are shooting on a crop sensor Canon. About as wide and fast as you’re going to get. If full frame well the options are all over the place.

    Oh and make sure you WB to the back ground and when you do it. Make sure that your camera is seeing it at about 70%.

    I do lots of shoots on white and the best way to keep it white (for video) is to blow it out a little bit. Also if it comes in a little off color. It’s pretty easy to fix in post, as long as everything else is correct. Have your subject at about 60-70% and the background at 110.

    If by viewfinders you mean something like the Zucato Pro or the Hoodman, I own both and they are priced accordingly. The Hoodman is almost worse than worthless, the Zucato Pro (expensive) but worth every penny.

    But just like your eye it does matter how long you are looking at the weld. A quick shot, probably no harm done.

    IF it will hurt your eye…. It will hurt a sensor. Do NOT shoot a weld without a serious ND on the lens.

    G6 is a great camera for a great price, but not a large sensor camera. It’s 4/3rds and it has some of it’s own drawbacks. If you want wide angle or shallow DOF it’s much more challenging to accomplish.

    You will need to run audio separately though.

    Why not just plug the audio into the Ninja to start with? It seems that would be the cleanest best option. I use a Beachtech to bring the audio in/mix and then into the recorder.
