alice_lollington Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 <p>Hi! I am looking to buy a new zoom lens for portraiture. I have heard that zoom lenses are not good for portraits, but I was having a difficult time composing full body shots with fixed focal lengths of 50mm and 105mm. My Canon 50mm 1.4's autofocus is terrible and I need a new lens. The problem is, I don't know what to buy! Should I forget zoom lenses and just buy another 50mm?<br> In essence, I need the ideal lens for portraiture for a canon camera.<br> Thanks for the help.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyinca Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 <p>Assuming you have a 1.6X crop body (ie: 500D, 50D, 7D),IMHO, EF24-70/2.8 if you have the cash. Tamron 28-75/2.8 if you don't.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
