Favorite Lens for Glamour?

amonline · 10th of April 2009 (Fri)

I'm just curious what everyone's favorite lens(es) for glamour shooting are? (both indoor and out) I prefer to use my primes for controlled portraits when I have plenty of time, but I was wondering what people who shoot a lot of glamour use regularly. (I don't shoot too much, but have some upcoming opportunities)

Since I usually shoot in small to medium spaces, I could not live without my Tamron 28-75mm for indoor work. For shooting outside I use the 70-200 if I have the space, or the the Tamron if want wider angles.

either my 50mm 1.4, or the 70-200 depending on the shot. My 24-70 is going in for adjustment

My 24-105mm f4L or 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens.

I like using my 100mm 2.8 macro

90% of my model photography studio and outdoors was with the Canon 70-200 F2.8 and full frame bodys.

+1

although with my cropped sensor camera body I have to have a lot of room to use the 70-200mm

In studio 95% of my stuff is shot with the nifty-fifty 1.8
the other 5% my 17-55 when I need to go wider that is until I just got my 1d Mk iii and I shot everything with my 50.
Will on occasion switch to my 70-200 2.8 for outdoor stuff.
