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.”
