Hello!
I currently have the Canon 40D with a 17-85mm 5.6 IS lens and am looking to purchase a good CANON portrait lens that will give me some great bokeh etc. I was hoping to spend less than $500.
I am just getting started with turning my hobby into something more exciting... so, based on my limited photography knowledge here is what i am leaning towards:
1. Canon lens
2. around $400 or less
3. 1.4, 1.8 or 2.8? which is better for portrait?
4. something preferably around 50 to 60mm i think, because i dont shoot in a big studio so i dont have much room to back up to capture more of my subject.
5. Do I want a Macro Lens?
6. here are the lenses i was considering... am i way off?
Canon EFS 60mm 2.8 macro lens, but it looks like that might not fit on my camera?
Canon 50mm 2.5 macro lens - but do i want macro etc?
Canon 50mm 1.4 usm
any others?
There are so many lenses out there, and so much to consider.
All thoughts or recommendations would be GREAT!
Thanks Greatly!
