Best Portrait Lens
When it comes to taking pictures you will come across different names such as full length pictures, portrait pictures ect. What will determine the quality of your portrait is the kind of lens that you choose to use. In the following paragraphs I will mention a few things to think about when taking a portrait photo.
In choosing a lens for a portrait you must take into account the prevailing conditions of the environment that you want to take the photo in. Light, wind etc. You need think about the focal length. Why this is a consideration is because it is dependant upon the film size. From personal observation I have noticed that a portrait with 35mm film camera is best taken with a 105m lens and an 80mm requires a 160mm lens. You can see then how the size of the film has an effect on the lens that you choose and the eventual picture that you take.
If you are unsure as to how to make these adjustments in focal length, size of lens and film you can always ask around from fellow photographers who understand the concept better . sometimes having a practical experience provide a better explanation than theory.
The view of a picture is dependant on how near you are to the subject and not the size of the lens. basically the size of the lens will not affect the view it will stay the same. What will be different is the number of things that will appear in each image that is the scope. Of course assuming everything else remains constant and only the focal length changes.
Like I said before to fully appreciate the effect a lens has on a portrait picture would be best understood in a practical set up by experimenting with different size lens until you have grasped the concept well.Check out any of the following for good DSlR cameras and lenses that you can use:
