Re: Best Portrait Lens
Hi Du8die, I am sure you are right about this lens it will probably be in the same league as the Canon 24-70 2.8. It is very expensive but is regarded as an awesome lens. I have stood next to guys using the 24-70 and they all love it and prefer it to the 24-105 because of the 2.8. I have the 24-105 coming later this month… -

Re: Best Portrait Lens
Thanks ever so much for those additional replies which I really appreciate. I think I will probably stand next to you Swartzy. However, I will be receiving my 24-105 L IS later this month. As I initially said with the 17-55 I almost have to get up their nostrils for a full frame but the end product is quite exceptional and… -
Re: Best Portrait Lens
I only have 2 lenses. The 24-105 and 70-200/2.8 non IS. While I like the 24-105 I'm not thrilled with it as a portrait lens. It's just not fast enough to get the background blur I like. I mainly use my 70-200, but then I feel like I'm too far away when doing full length shots. Especially when using fill flash in HSS. So I… -
Re: Best Portrait Lens
I loved my Canon 24-105 f/4L IS until I bought the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS. The 70-200 w/ IS is so sharp. It does require more light but so does the 24-105. I am extremely shaky due to rheumatoid arthritis and hereditary neuropathy but even having to contend with that I get much better pics with the long lens. IMHO, the IS on… -
Re: Best Portrait Lens
Hi Katie, First of all and more important, I am sorry to hear about your present health condition and sure wish you well and hope things improve for you. I use my 70-200L but as I have said it doesn't have IS. I use this lens all the time at car rallies but I have to make sure the shutter speed is high at all times at F/4.… -
Best Portrait Lens
Which would you say is the best lens for portraits. I have quite a few lenses but mainly use 17-55 2.8 and 70-200 F/4 which hasn't IS. Also 60mm macro. I am getting a 24-105 F/4 soon. By the way I use a 580 EX11 flash with diffuser. Your suggestions and recommendations would be mostly appreciated. Regards Bob -

Re: Best Portrait Lens
What's the budget My first question is what is your budget? You can do a lot with a little if that is all you have. My favorite lens is the 50 1.2 but the 85 1.2 and 135 2.0 are all great for portraits. There are 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 that do beautiful portraits if that is all you can afford. I know you are in the UK so I…
