Two great portrait lenses...

[Jaffster]

I can't think of a fitting scenario for this but.....

If you had the choice of shooting a wedding with either of these two lenses on a full frame body which one would it be and why? You could only use this ONE lens for the day....

Think of it as a bit of a lens comparison for the wedding/portrait togs out there.

70-200mm f/2.8
85mm f/1.4

I see both lenses being used alot, trying to weigh up the pro's and con's of each (without pointing out the obvious restrictions of each from above).

Sorry, I've just realised that this is in the wrong section :bonk:

if it could only be one lens then it would be the zoom

70-200, flexibility through out the day.

the 80mm will perhaps give better results, and can be used effectively during the posed shots. But will restrict you during the ceremony and candid shots throughout the day and night.
