On a Canon 400D, why do some pople say you can't use the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM lens?
I read that it would only be good for headshots and what not? Why not a fully body picture?
Because this person gallery, they use a 350D and they have portraits..?

I'm confused? lol. Can someone please explain why this lens isn't good for Rebels or a 20D?
Answer
Who told you that?
With that lens, when mounted on your camera, it works like a 216 mm, which is pretty "long". If you want to do full length shot of someone, you will have to stand quite a way from the subject. This is due to smaller sensor your camera has compared to a film or a full frame camera. It is too long to be a walk-around lens for your camera.
When used with a full framer, it works quite nicely. This lens is a legend - it's supposed to be Canon's sharpest, and you can see here:

If you want to do a portrait with your camera, better to get the Canon 85 mm f 1.8--on your camera, it will work like a 136 mm and the best thing is that it costs less than a third of the 135 mm f 2 lens.

Hi, I am starting to take photograghy more seriose than I have and looking to get better. What would br the bestlens for me to shoot headshots with, and also to shoot outdoor bikini shots?
Answer
Canon's zoom lens go from a fairly wide 28mm to practically anything you want. I like the 28-200 zoom.

When shooting portraits, you want a slightly longer lens in the 80-100mm range. This flattens your subject's face and keeps them from looking distorted. Your outdoor shots will either want a long lens, or a wide one, depending how you intend to compose the picture. Either way a good quality zoom can replace several other lenses.
