What is the most versatile prime lens?
And, in our humblest opinion, 35mm is the most versatile focal length of any prime lens because it’s perfect for almost every photography genre. From street and event photography to weddings, landscapes, portraits, and travel, a 35mm prime can do almost everything.
Is a 35mm or 85mm better for portraits?
A 35mm prime lens has a wide angle of view and is best for images that incorporate the background with the main subject. An 85mm prime lens has a more narrow-angle of view than the 35mm and 50mm lenses and is known as the best portrait lens because it adds little, if any, facial distortion to your main subject.

What is the 50mm equivalent for APS-C?
75mm
A 50mm lens on APS-C cameras is nearly a perfect portrait pairing. On Canon cameras, it’s a 1.6x crop, which is around 80mm. But for the rest of the world, it’s a 75mm equivalent.
Which focal length is best for full body portraits?
The ideal focal lengths for portrait lenses are 85mm and 105mm, because they’re most flattering. With a 105mm lens you’d have to be a fair bit away from your subject to capture a full length portrait, which makes directing more difficult and breaks the connection between you and your subject.

Why do APS-C cameras take less pictures than full-frame cameras?
Have a quick look at the image below. Basically when shooting with a APS-C (crop) camera, it captures less than a full-frame sensor camera. And because of the narrower view of angle, you get an impression that a longer focal length had been used (as if it was zoomed in on purpose).
What are the best Canon lenses for portrait photography?
Having a wide angle lens that’s this light and fast to acquire focus is just a joy to use. On a cropped sensor Canon (EF-S), 50mm translates to around 80mm, meaning the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM becomes one of the best Canon lenses for portrait photography, at least at this price point.

As for zooms, you’re in luck – Canon offers some of the best medium and long-range telephoto lenses money can buy 😉 If you’re shooting full frame, the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 II is the cream of the crop, and arguably the only zoom lens you’ll ever need.
