I am using a Nikon D7100 and am wondering what to use for a lens for video. I use a Nikon 17mm to 135mm and find it hard to zoom.

Zooming for video is very amatuerish.  Maybe, and I mean maybe for an occasional shot.  Please see any professional work.  Rarely is there a zoom shot.

 

To answer your question, the answer is the lens that is appropriate for the work.  I have used 12-24mm f/4 Tokina lenses (brilliant for video) to 600mm f/4 for wildlife and sports.  What kind of wotk are you trying to do?
