I would like to know what kind of lens is best for shooting potraits either a canon lens or sigma. Also does anyone has any experience using the sigma 50-500mm lens, as i might want to buy one for wildlife so do give your comments.Thanks:think:

student said:28-200 mm (35mm equivalent). Any lens or lens combination.
Long focal lenses compress the distance, not the height or width!Witness said:there are no hard and fast rules to wat lenses to use.... it depends on the subject(ie model) if u have one that is slightly plump, perhaps u may wanna se the 85mm to compress her features alittle....or maybe even a 105....but are u gg to do this for a slim model? it may or may not work.... and using these long focal lengths for full bodies also has an effect of "compressing" the height of the person......
these are juz to illustrate my point.....
cheers..
if you want sharp shots to be blown up to 8R plus... this is the lense to go for!! :thumbsup:yjoshua said:85mm prime for portraits :thumbsup:
