In this episode of Ask David, I answer the question 'what lens is best for portraits?' The answer includes a range of focal lengths and touches on the importance that focal length has in flattering conversions of three-dimension subjects to two-dimensional images. The answer isn't easy and a large array of exceptional portrait lenses exist. The video ends with sample portraits from 50mm to 254mm. The samples includes images from different formats, but the point can still be illustrated well as 105mm in 35mm converts three-dimensional subjects to two-dimension images the same as a 105mm lens on a 6X7 camera.
