Best portrait lens for the canon eos r7?

For portraits on the Canon EOS R7, the lens matters more than the body. The R7's crop makes a 50mm lens frame like 80mm on full frame, which is a classic portrait length.

• Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM: the widest aperture here, for the softest backgrounds.
• Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM: the cheap, light option, and a good place to start.
• Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary: a zoom that gives you tighter framing without moving your feet.

Whichever you pick, light beats gear: face a window and expose for the face. For more on portrait lengths, see portraits.
