*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

Portraits

Portraits are best shot with focal lengths between 85 and 300mm depending on whether shooting mid-length or close-ups and the amount spacial compression wanted. Depth of field is the most important tool to manipulate and a fast lens will give more scope for creative treatment.

Technologies

Floating System

Extending the focusing lens group at close focusing distances can sometimes cause distortions such as curvature of field – particularly noticeable with wide-angle lenses. Canon counteracts this problem by incorporating 'floating' lens elements into many EF lenses. Because the floating component is separate to the focusing lens group, aberrations caused by lens extensions are significantly reduced. This means you can be sure of high image quality at all focusing distances.
