I have heard a 50mm 1.2 lens is the best for engagements, seniors, newborns, and things like that, but i'm really not sure what to buy right now!
Opinions?!



Answer
Unless you have $1600 extra, the f/1.2 is kind of overkill. I prefer the 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, and the 70-200 f/2.8L for doing portraits.

I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I want a great lens for taking portraits, any ideas?


Answer
Pick your focal, they're all good for portrait.

24-70mm f/2,8L usm or 24-70mm f/2,8L usm II
50mm f/1,8 or f/1,4
85mm f/1,8 or f/1,2L
105mm f/2,8 usm or f/2,8L
135mm f/2L
70-200mm f/4L or f/4L IS or f/2,8L or f/2,8L IS II

For low budget:

Tamorn 28-75mm f/2,8
