[full frame] Lens for shallow DoF


Recommended Posts

<p>I'm looking for a sharp lens that will provide shallow dof on full frame Canon. It will be used for creative purposes with shallow dof, as well as for babies. I'm thinking of:</p>

<p><strong>50mm 1.4</strong><br /> I've heard this lens is substandard wide open. How far do you need to stop down?</p>

<p><strong>85mm 1.8</strong><br /> Same price but seemingly sharp at f/2 already. Much longer focus distance though.</p>

<p><strong>100mm 2.8 macro</strong><br /> Again similar price, slower but tack sharp throughout the full aperture. Focuses from macro to infinity.</p>

<p>I also consider other macro lenses, like the image stabilized and the shorter 50mm 2.5. Which is best and why? Thanks.</p>

<p> </p>
