Any cinematography buffs out there?
I need an advise. I shoot films on my 600d and for christmas i wanna buy my self a present. And i m considering, geting ether proper lens for my 600d or canon 6d and leave my acctual lens (18-55 standard and 75-300). What should i chose? I know there is a quite big difference between 600d and 6d but maybe good lens would change a lot?

The 6D definitely. The 18-55 looks awesome on it.

the 18-55 doesn't work on the 6D

well both ideally... though the lenses should come first. no point in getting a good cam if you only have shit lenses to use with it.
just make sure you actually get lenses intended for full frames (EF, not EF-S). 600d isn't too bad of a film camera honestly and if the intention is solely video then full frame isn't going to make a HUGE difference (better DR definitely, but that's the major benefit).
the new tamron 24-70 would be a great investment. ive heard its quite sharp.

why not buying a real motion cam if you "shoot films"?

600d with magic lantern. Feel free to get a cheapo nifty 50 for dat sharpness and bokeh. This combo worked great for my short vids

Since you're doing cinematography, spend on the body, and get some old manual lenses off Craigslist or thrift stores. Virtually nobody who'll ever see your films will know the difference between that old glass and ones that cost more than your camera.

Lens.
6D is bad for video
