For portraits like this what do you all use. I shot that with a a 55-250. I'm thinking I need a 70-200?? Any advice on that or maybe I will start a new post about a lens choice.
Many thanks again for all your thoughts!!
My favorite lens for portraits is the 24-70mm F2.8L. I try to stay in the 70mm range because its more flattering to women but sometimes the 24mm comes in pretty hand, especially indoors. Before that I was content with my 50mm F1.8 and 85mm F1.8 other than having to take the time to change lenses.
I started out with the XT and I would still be happy with it, but I got the T2i last summer and I love the larger screen on it, so its hard to go back and use the other one. And from my experience, people do not notice a difference between an entry level DSLR or a higher up one. Add the battery grip on the entry level one and they would probably guess its a better camera than a 5D.
