best canon 7d lens for portraits image
andy y
Here is my current gear, Canon 7d, 24-105L, 580ex II, 2 flex 5ttl, 24x24 softbox/stand. I am looking for a portrait lens. Should I go with the 70-200mm 2.8 II , 85mm 1.2, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, 50mm 1.2 ?
Thanks

50mm 1.2 stopped down to 1.8 it gives minimal optical distortion at this focal length and has ud elements to reduce aberrations. Also use slow shutter speed like 1/40

Hello Internet world ! upgrading from a t1i to a 7d...
what lens is great for both landscape photography and portrait photography?
Answer
You don't NEED a tripod for landscapes, but it is recommended.
You want an UWA lens for landscapes. And not one of the Canon L series lenses, they're not wide enough on the cropped 7D sensor.
Look at the Canon 10-22mm, Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 or Sigma 10-20mm.
For portraits you want a medium telephoto lens, one that will compress the background reasonably well and create a good separation between your subject and the background. So, you're looking for a fast medium telephoto lens.
Your options:
Canon 50mm F/1.4
Canon 85mm F/1.8
Canon 135L F/2
The 135L is the most expensive there and will probably be too telephoto on the 7D due to the cropped sensor.
I don't like the look and feel of a 50mm on a cropped sensor, so I'd go with the 85mm. But you need to go try out both lenses at a camera shop and see which is right for you.
