I work at a hospital as photography. It's the only reason I got into photography, but I haven't been doing it for a very long time. Only the last 8 months or so. I've been branching out using my camera outside work, but I want to expand my collection of lenses.
>Canon 50mm 1.8
Standard lens I use for neonatal photos. They don't need to be super detailed and not super wide or close. This lens works well for this.
>Sigma 30mm 1.4
I only got this for the wider aperture. Sometimes I shoot in lower light conditions indoors. Again, focal length didn't matter.
>Tokina 11-16mm 2.8
I got this to shoot a friend's wedding. Things went well! I just needed something wide.
>Sigma 18-35mm 1.8
This was the only lens I bought for myself without consideration for work. I watched a lot of reviews and it seemed to be one of the best lenses for the $1000CDN I paid for it. I use this lens the most.
I want to start doing portraits so I'm looking for a telephoto lens, something with effective focal length 120mm or so, give or take. I was eying the Canon 85mm 1.8 since with APS-C this works as 136mm but I think a zoom lens would be better for me. I don't need a wide zoom range, definitely NOT something like 18-200mm/18-300mm, etc. Something like 70-100, a thin zoom range but still in the range I want.
What do you guys suggest for my first telephoto lens? I borrowed a friend's Canon 55-250 3.6-5.6 I think it was? I didn't like the rotating threads when zooming, nor was I fussy for the extending body. I know zoom telephoto typically does not have internal zooming, but any exist?
My budget is at highest $800, but ideally I'd like it to be $700 or under. Someone suggested the Tamron 70-200 but this is a $1500 lens here.
