I like longer lenses for portraits. An 85mm on APS-C or a 135mm on full frame. It's all personal taste.


I've tried it lots of different ways and I always come back to using longer lenses for the portraits I like. There are always situations, like environmental portraits, where you might want to include more of the background but when shooting in the studio or making portraits for myself nothing beats the extra reach.
