hey guys.. wat do u all think of using macro lenses for portraits? eg canon's 100mm 2.8 macro etc.. cheers!
oh ok.. hmm, then wat abt stuff like IQ etc?
Great shots, melvin!
Love the focus and bokehs at f/2.8.
Thanks... it's a great lens for portraits as well as macro.. 2 in 1.. very value for money!
Yep. Too bad, I'm only so so with macro and still a learner with portraits :cry:.
This has already come up several times. The main thing to worry about on macro lenses will be slower AF. So if you have a fast-moving subject, be prepared.
That's true. AF is generally slower by a small tad.
Can be improved by changing the focus range to avoid the AF going into the macro range.
i see, so how would be like compared to faster portraiture lenses like the 50 f1.4 or 85 f1.8? im really contemplating which to get, a macro lens or portrait lens.. :x
