Which Portrait Lens?

[andrewc]

Andrew, what an offer, that'd be cool.

Thanks guys, but the list of lenses is getting bigger... 50mm f1.2, 50mm f1.2, 85mm 1.2, 85mm 1.8, 135mm F2 to add to my original 5 :bonk:

This thread was started to help me narrow down my choices

If you want to borrow it just hollar. I'll need it this weekend and next weekend but apart from that its available. Could I borrow your 10-20 in return please ? I regret selling mine!

Swapping lenses for a weekend sounds good - could start a new trend on TP.

PM me in a couple of weeks if you would like to do a weekend swap.

Do you want a zoom or prime lens? Personally, I prefer primes.
Notwithstanding the 85 f1.2 mentioned above, other more realistic alternatives are:
Canon efs 60mm macro f2.8 £285
Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro £297
Canon 85mm f1.8 £251.

All prices off the Warehouse express website.

All would make excellent lenses for head/shoulders portraits and have nice wide apertures for getting oof backgrounds.

Just my 0.02p worth

Cheers

Mark
