Since I have returned to APS-C, I'm looking for a nice portrait lens that has around 50mm field of view on a FF.
While I know 35mm Sigma and other f1.4 variants are killer lenses, I have no funds for that.
So far I've been looking at these two:
Sigma 18-35mm f1.8
Canon 35mm f2 IS
Sigma offers more variety as it's a zoom lens. It's incredibly sharp with micro-details starting from f1.8 onward. The downside is the size (almost 800 grams), price and no IS.
Canon 35mm f2 IS is around 130 euros cheaper than Sigma, far more lighter (around 330g) and has IS. The downsize is slightly inferior IQ compared to Sigma in terms of contrast and sharpness at f2.
Also another plus, it's Canon. Native lens to Canon cameras and compatible to both FF and Crop.
What are your thoughts? I mainly do lifestyle portraiture, both indoors and outdoors and closeup action shots of single runners and other athletes doing their stuff.
If you have any other suggestion about these lenses or other stuff, feel free to post here.
Thanks!
Consider the 24mm pancake. It's a little shorter than you're thinking but it's close and very affordable and it is the best bang for the buck. I would also look at a 28mm 2.8 IS lens as I am very fond of 28mm on both crop and 35mm bodies which makes it a handy lens to have and I find the 28mm on APS C is a nicer length than the 35.
Thanks. I have that pancake. I bought it with my 90D few weeks ago. It's a stellar lens, I couldn't believe how good and crisp are the details with good bokeh, coming from such tiny optics. I'm glad Canon keeps selling them like hot (pan)cakes.
However, I'm looking for something that would isolate the subjects more and mimic 50mm lens on a FF. With maximum aperture of at least f2. I'm still considerinng all the options. Though Sigma 18-35mm is not on my list anymore.
I used the Canon 28mm 1.8 on my 40D for many years with good success. It's far from a perfect lens but it's better than many think. Primes for Canon APS-c are limited for sure! It's one of my favourite things about my 5D is the primes I have available.
