Introduction
Into The portrait is undoubtedly one of the most popular genres of photography – who, having a minimum of passion for photography, has never competed in a portrait / her companion / or a friend?!?
Like other photographic genres, also the portrait obviously has its optical reference , and as always the classic 18-55mm zoom supplied in kit form can hardly be considered sufficient.
Into
Into The main flaw in the zoom kit, in this context, is the low maximum aperture when the focal length is set to 55mm – f/5.6 typically. An opening so small it does not allow the photographer to “play” with the depth of field to isolate the subject, how often do you want to do when you take a portrait. On the other hand, reduce the focal length to earn opening would be a bad idea: the wide-angle distortion introduce incompatible with the portrait, unless you want to create a caricature.
What to do? The good news is that the portrait does not require expensive equipment, as is the case for other types of photography (sports and nature, for example). Generally, a 50mm light is all you need to get started. Although no one provides more in a kit with the camera body, the classic EF 50mm f/1.8 you can buy new for about 100 € , or used at a very ridiculous.
About Into though, maybe after playing a bit ‘with the 50mm f/1.8 decides that the portrait fascinates him and want something more, can be found in the kit Canon EF two pieces are truly amazing : The 85mm f/1.2 , the little brighter paintings currently available for EOS SLR (and not only) and 135mm f / 2 , medium telephoto is also particularly bright lends itself well, in addition to the portrait, even for the indoor sports.
In this article we propose a comparison between these two objectives which, for different reasons, set a reference standard in their industry. The price of course is far from popular, especially as regards the 85mm, but dreaming is always permissible.
