What canon lenses are great for indoor/outdoor glamour and portrait photography? |
I have a Canon Rebel XTI and would love to go into these areas of photography. Thanks! For indoor shots, make sure your lens has a low aperture. By low i mean lower than f/3 (I know f/3 is not a normal aperture setting but I'm just saying go lower than f/3) Typical portrait lenses for a film camera start at 85mm and go to 105mm. With the crop factor of 1.6 on your camera you are looking at 53mm to about 67mm. They don't make a lens in either of these exact sizes. Your best choice would be a 50mm F1.4 or 1.8. The F1.8 is a really good lens and is cheap ($100). If you have a zoom lens like the 28-135 or 70-300 you can use that for the higher end of the portrait range. If you're going with natural light only, then aperture size becomes important. Canon has a sharp 50mm 1.8 which is good for portraiture. For a more versatile (but more expensive) lens, you can try the 70-200mm 2.8L. |
