Best portrait lens for the canon eos 6d mark ii?
For portraits on the 6D Mark II, I'd start with an 85mm. The portraits guide makes the point that the lens matters far more than the body, and an 85mm is the classic length for flattering faces. These are my picks from the lenses that fit the camera:
- Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM: the easy, affordable choice.
- Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM: my favourite balance of sharpness, background blur and stabilisation.
- Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art: a strong alternative if you want a bit more bite.
If you're on a budget, a 50mm f/1.8 also works well. And don't skip the light advice: a window beats any lens.
