I really don't have a favorite lens/body/aperture combination because it really all depends on what factors I'm working with. How much room do I have to work in? Do I have a background that I'd like to throw out of focus? Would it look better keeping the background in focus? How do I want to light this scene? Hardlight? Softlight? One light? 5 lights? Once I've got all that figured out, then I'll decide which lens to use and what aperture/shutterspeed combination would work best for what I'm trying to capture (no pun intended).
In regards to macro or full body shots...I love doing it all. No preference from me on that really. For me .... a nice set of pictures has a combination of all those. Some full length, some 3/4 length and some closeup "macro" shots of all the womanly parts. If the girl has outstanding features (boobs, ass etc), I may concentrate more on those areas and play down her weaknesses (bad boob jobs, cellulite etc.) I've been practicing (and learning a great deal) with hiding problem areas using clothing and posing. Some things I learned from the guys over at Playboy
