best camera lenses image
x�mead
I just want to hear your suggestions about what camera lenses to use use if you want to...
Take sharp portraits. A lense that captures face and body well. When you photograph outfits or fashion and makeup pictures.
Secondly, I wonder if there's any good lense for concert photography? I guess I should look for a tele-zoom. Some people say they make pictures more blurry. Is this true or just a myth?
Thank you.
Answer
Good portraits can be taken with any quality lens, however something in the 50mm-85mm range is good on a APS-C sized sensor (ie entry levels & prosumer DSLR's). I use either a 50mm f1.8, a 50mm f2.8 macro or an 85mm f1.8.
Concert work - well depends on how close you are & how much light there is. If you're some distance from the stage you'll need something with some reach - a good general purpose lens would be something like the 18-200mm. If its dark, you'll need a lens which is capable of wide apertures (ie f2.8). Unfortunately, to get a combination of long reach AND wide aperture costs a great deal!

What are the names of these canon camera lenses?

I need 2 Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital SLR Camera lenses. One lens that makes the background blurry, and a fish eye lens that doesn't have the black parts on the side while I'm filming. Also, I heard some canon cameras only take photos but do not film. I have not bought the camera yet so I want to know if this camera takes photos AND videos or just videos.
Answer
For the "background blurry" effect, this is more of an in-camera technique than any specific lens. The faster the lens (the larger the aperture) and more telephoto it is, the more background blur it will have - if setup in the camera properly. There are many lenses that will do this.
Any lens that is f/2.8 or faster, or a telephoto lens above 100mm will work for this purpose - again when used properly.
I created this photo with a 200mm telephoto at f/5.6, so all you need is either a fast lens OR a telephoto lens:

Nikon though does have a DC lens that has a decoupling (or de-focusing) element that assists in blurry backgrounds (as well as blurry foregrounds), but I am not sure if there is a Canon lens with the same feature.
The fisheye lens you want is a "diagonal fisheye". Circular fisheyes and the cheap add-on front lens fisheye filters produce the circle (with the black parts) you don't want. A diagonal fisheye does not.
