ZOOM lens portraits

[cuthbert]

we've got a prime lens portrait thread, but how about a 'zoom' lens portrait thread?

whilst any zoom probably isn't going to be able to create buttery bokeh of the 85L or 135L, my 70-200 f2.8 can still pull it's weight and always surprises me with the pleasing images it produces.

so let's see your favourite portraits taken with a zoom lens. it would be useful if you could share with us the lens you used too.

here are 6 recent portraits taken with a zoom lens - all with canon 70-200 2.8

Sorry about that! I linked a load in, then updated the watermark on all of them via lightroom so it broke the link :bang:
