Right now I use all the lenses I have. Can't really pick a favorite. I love a telephoto when I'm trying to get action shots, but the 18-55 and the 50mm are great for if the dog is laying down or not moving much. Eventually I want to get rid of the 28-135 and go for the 18-135, or the 18-200 so I can keep a good range without having to switch lenses all the time.

The best lens for pets is whatever lens you have.

It varies SO MUCH depending on the situation, 50mm 1.8 is my go to, but I often have to switch to my 28mm 1.8 or my 8-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS depending on the situation (indoors vs outdoors, distance to the pet etc)

I like the 50mm because half of what the client is paying for is my ability to work with their animal, I find it helps to get to know them, work with them, and be close-ish to them and the 50 lets me do this.

Just a couple shots from yesterday with my 50mm
