Re: Best lens combo for baby shots at hospital

Have only been in this situation twice so take it with a grain of salt.

i have a 5D,  I brought with me my 24mmL II, my 50mmL, and for both occasions rented the 85mmL II.

even if I had the 5d3, I don't think my lens choices would change.  24 was great for contextual shots, 50mm is one of my faves, most shots were at 50, 85 was used for close ups and bokeh....

i chose not to use flash, just my preference.  Both births I attended were during daylight, with a nice big window in the room..
