Recommended Applications

* 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.

High foreground to background compression of Static/Slow-moving subjects

High focal lengths reduce the perceived distance between foreground and background or they can be used for better magnification of subjects that are not possible to get closer to. When operating telephoto lenses at 500mm or above focal lengths without image stabilisation or camera support, it is necessary to use shutter speeds over 1/500 sec, making those lenses only suitable for daylight exposures.

Portraits

A focal length of about 85mm and higher is recommended for medium closeup to closeups depending on the amount of 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

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass

ED glass dramatically improves chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings
