I'm trying to figure out which lens would be best for portraits with shallow depth of field. My camera is a Canon Rebel XSi EOS. I have included photos that will help give an idea of what I'm looking for. The photo with a girl in it was taken with a 200mm lens, which isn't realistic for my first accessory lens. I am interested in taking outdoor, full body/waist up portraits, so I can stand at whatever distance is appropriate for the lens.
I have done a bit of research and with my price range (less than $500) I have found that Sigma or Canon 50mm F/1.4, Sigma 30mm F/1.4, and Canon EF 85mm F/1.8. Any suggestions on the lens I have mentioned or suggestions for other lenses?
Thanks for any help!!!
