Photographers: What lens(es) do you use for shoots?
 

I was always wondering, what do most photographers shoot their models with? Do you prefer prime lenses or mid-range zooms? Focal lengths of over 80mm are supposedly preferred for portraits (so I read), but is it the same for shooting pussy?

nikon 50/1.4
nikon 85/1.8
sigma 30/1.4

on nikon d300 :thumbsup

50/1.4
85/1.8
70-200/4

Mostly Canon 17-40 L glass

.1 mm thick Aluminum foil with .25 mm hole punched in centre. ;)

May i offer a little advice, its NOT about the gear, do not worry about the gear, although that is important, your much better off looking at images that you like and try to create the look you wanted, by playing with light, composition, and posing and yes some of the coolest images i ever created NON porn where done with .1 mm thick Aluminum foil with .25 mm hole punched in centre.

85mm f 1.2
120 mm f2.8
180 mm f 2.8 all Nikon

where did you get this 85/1.2? guess it's manual lens?

with a full-frame canon:

24-105mm
70-200mm

For 99.9% of stuff I use the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L and for Fisheye I use the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 the camera body is Canon EOS 5D

If you can't shoot with a Canon Rebel you have no skills:2 cents:

if you don't know the difference between a camera and a lens, you're hurtin for certain :2 cents:

I think he meant 1.4?

Very true. :thumbsup

All Nikon.. For porn, 28-70 full frame N series is my sex still work horse.. For butt shots i got the hard to find 28mm 1.4.. For box pics i use the 70-200 or 85mm 1.4. depending what i am looking for.

I own all the Nikon prime lenses. They are a must have!! I have 15 Nikon lenses in all.:2 cents:

Correct its about 25 years old and as sharp as a tack

:thumbsup
