Best camera for the laowa 105mm f 2 stf?

For a sensible everyday pairing, I'd go full frame. The Laowa 105mm f/2 STF is a manual focus portrait lens, and it's made for full frame, so it's at its best there and frames exactly 105mm.

• Sony a7 III is my pick for most people. It's a mirrorless full frame body on the Sony E mount, and the lens's manual focus is easier to nail on a camera with a good electronic viewfinder.
• Nikon D750 is a solid full frame DSLR if you already have Nikon F mount lenses.
• Canon EOS 6D Mark II does the same job on Canon EF.

If you want the lens on a smaller budget, an APS-C body still works, and it frames like about 158mm on Sony, Nikon or Pentax. For the shooting itself, see portraits.
