erm ur lenses aren't really for portrait... except maybe the 135mmstill confused with which lens to match with my canon 7d for outdoor portrait, as i will be getting a new lense..any friends or brothers please share your advice
Canon EF 200mm?
Canon EF 135mm?
Canon EF 24-105mm?
or any recommendation?:dunno:
If it's strictly portraits, then get the Canon EF 135mm. But then it more for face and half body. 135mm on a cropped camera is already quite tight so 200mm will be even worse.
If you intend to do more full body shot,get the 24-105

pardon me. 135mm x 1.6 crop factor = 216mm. On top of that, min. focus distance is 1.3m. Isn't it too difficult to take portraits with that? Just wondering cuz i always thought 35mm - 50mm will be good for portraitures on a cropped body.
yes 135mm x 1.6 crop factor = 216mm which means that the photographer will have to stand pretty far away already. So imagine, for the 200mm(X1.6= 320), the photographer will even have to stand further... not impossible... but then you might need to shout to give instructions to the models consider the distance.
the min focus means that the lens will not focus less than 1.3m. Meaning that if you are standing just 1m away from the model, it will not be able to focus.
it doesnt mean that it will not focus when you are more than 1.3m (eg 2m away)
hope you understand what I am trying to explain
yes for a cropped body,35mm - 50mm is ideal. But if the photographer likes to take more face close-ups, that means he will have to get closer if he's on a 35mm length. Being close to the model might cause some "distortion" that might cause the model's face to look rounder and the nostrils to look enlarged etc
hence TS should state what kind of portraits he normally does so that CSers can advise better
85/1.2L II :lovegrin:
85/1.2L II :lovegrin:
he's using cropped body.. so maybe 50L? :devil:
why didnt you include 24-70 f2.8?? it's a pretty good choice as well!
Nope 85L is a better choice but looking at price wise TS may not consider.
@ 85 TS can take face shot at a friendlier distance. Half & full body, just have to let the leg do its job.
It just work the same way for 50L isn't it? For face shots, just take a few steps forward. For full body shots, can work at a friendly distance w/o having to shout..
It's not clear cut that 85L is a better choice.. probably subject to the individual's style and preference. But of coz it is a very attractive lens.
