Canon’s f/1.8 lens flies the flag for the more affordable end of the product range and turns in a very solid performance, suggesting that sub-£400 versions should not be dismissed even when set against four-figure rivals.

The Canon 85/1.8 prime lens is inexpensive and lightweight. It is a very good portrait lens for a film or full-frame Canon digital SLR and a great portrait/telephoto lens for a Canon small-sensor digital SLR, such as the Canon Digital Rebel XTi (Black)...

Prime lenses in this focal length range have always been great choices for portrait photography, because of the tendency of the moderate telephoto focal length to slightly "flatten" facial features, avoiding the problem of too-big noses in frontal shots t...

The Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 includes a lens hood in the box but for this portrait I didn't use it deliberately, producing flare by pointing a monolight located behind the subject directly at the lens. I used a Panasonic Lumix GH4 with an exposur...
