What is a Canon 24 85mm lens used for?
This compact lens is an ideal choice for shooters who want wider coverage than provided by most standard zooms. The extra-wide coverage also makes it a great standard zoom for digital SLRs. Very likely, your first EF lens will be (or was) one of these lenses. After all, they feature the most popular focal lengths.
What is a 24 85mm lens good for?
I have had it less than a month, but am very impressed with the sharpness and focusing speed. 24-85mm is the perfect range for street photography, candid portraits, and basic landscapes.
What is Canon 85mm best for?
The Canon 85mm f/1.2 a great choice for portraits and low light situations. The background blur is wonderful. The focus is extremely sharp. Distortion and chromatic aberration are minimal.
What is the best aperture for the Canon 85mm?
The Canon 85mm f/1.8 exhibits significantly better Chromatic Aberration performance for the wider apertures, f/1.8 and f/2. But for apertures f/4-f/22, the 50mm lens is a significantly better CA performer than the 85mm.
