So, you are looking to buy a 70-200mm for a portrait lens, but you just can’t reason with the price!? We have been there and we understand that is why we have decided to give you the top 5 reasons directly from Jason Kirby of why an 85mm lens is the next runner up!
While the 70-200mm is the ideal portrait lens, price and size make it less convenient. What does Jason say about choosing the right 85mm?
“While the fastest and coolest 85mm is obviously the f/1.4, Jason recommends the f/1.8 85mm lens. The f/1.8 is substantially cheaper than f/1.4 and is equally qualified to get all the amazing pictures.”
