Frequently Asked Question

  • Portrait lenses typically have focal lengths between 50mm and 85mm (full-frame equivalent), offering a flattering perspective.

    A large aperture (low f-number) is also desirable for creating a shallow depth of field.

  • The focal length of a lens significantly affects the perspective and background blur in portraits.

    Shorter focal lengths (wide-angle) can distort facial features, while longer focal lengths (telephoto) compress the subject and create a more flattering look.

  • The "best" lens depends on your specific needs and budget. Popular choices include the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L.
