Best portrait lens for the canon eos 200d?

For portraits on the 200D, the lens matters more than the body. These are my picks from the lenses that fit it:

• Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art: my top pick. It frames like 80-160mm on full frame, a classic portrait range, and f/1.8 gives you a soft background.
• Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: a good choice if you want tight headshots and more of the surroundings from one lens.
• Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art: wider, for environmental portraits with room around your subject.

Whichever you pick, light will do more for your portraits than any lens. Put your subject facing a window and expose for the face. See Portraits for more.
