Incredible Lens for Portraiture

bysarra91 May 16, 2011
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great focus, easy to use once learned. Easy to clean lens.
Cons Hard to clean the grooves, Slightly complicated to learn for a beginner.
Recommended it? Yes

This is definitely my go to lens for Portraiture. I got the Nikon D3000 with kit lens and this, the Nikkor 55-200mm was a welcome addition to my kit a year later.
It has an aperture minimum range starting from 4.0 at 55mm to 5.6 at 200mm - a noticable drop from the 5.6 aperture at 55mm's in the... Read full review »

Pros  Takes pictures fine close up.
Cons Only gets good shots in the sun. Clouds destroy distance clarity. Way too slow.
Recommended it? No

You would have to love the light weight compact style of this zoom lense. That is probably the most I liked about it. Read full review »

The Canon 85mm f/1.2L - just what do you get with f/1.2L?

bywilco42 Aug 28, 2009
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros f/1.2 is fantastic if you know how to use it.  So much light and bokeh!
Cons f/1.2 is horrible if you don't know how to use it.  Heavy.  Focus really difficult.
Recommended it? Yes

At nearly $2000, anyone considering this lens must consider this lens to be a specialty lens.  When looking at this lens, the two immediate uses for this lens for me were portrait photography and low light/indoor sports photography.  Canon touts this lens as the ideal portrait lens, so let's take a...

I’ll keep the text short and the photos abundant…
This lens is a monster - in size, weight, and most importantly, output. The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is a very specialized lens, concentrating its prowess in portraits and selective focus control.
