NinetyEight "Banned for life" ![]() More info | Jul 20, 2013 11:26 | #17 I tend to use the 85 f/1.8 or 135 f/2L for anything in a more controlled environment but outdoors the 70-200L comes in handy. Kev

135L by far if I have the space, or the animal is small. The shots I take I often don't have the luxury of choosing the background, and even when I don't want minimal DOF, that lens is most likely to result in a nice background. amfoto1 wrote in post #16137507 ![]() My most used lens easily is 70-200... But I love using a variety of primes, whenever possible. 28/1.8, 50/1.4, 85/1.8, 100/2.8 macro, 135/2, 300/4, 300/2.8, 500/4... At one time or another I've used them all. I'm currently test driving a Tamron 60/2.0 Macro (crop only), to see if it can substitute for both the 50mm and 85mm. I really like 24-70/2.8 on crop cameras... but not so much on FF for most portraiture. This is with "pets" ranging in size from mice to horses. I never would have thought of a 500/4 as a 'portrait lens', but i bet it can produce some great portrait shots with a different look! Maybe that will be my excuse for getting one - better shots of the kids and pets! Edward Jenner

I certainly don't understand how someone can use a wide lens (like a 10-22mm) for pets. A longer lens allows you room between you and the pet. With a wide lens, you'll be right in the animals face. Also, the distortion with a wide lens when shooting a dog with a long snout would be humorous at best.

waylandcool Senior Member More info | Jul 22, 2013 15:18 | #26 For the website shots I take for the husky rescue I volunteer for, I use the EF 28-135mm f3.5-f5.6. Huskies are almost always moving so I need the range. I want to upgrade to a 24-105 f4L at some point though.
