There's no "best" focal length for a portrait lens. The "traditional" head/shoulders lens FL is from ~80-110mm. But I've used 135, 180/200, and 300's as good portrait lenses. I especially like the 135/2.8, as it presents a good out-of-focus background wide open. I also remember using the 180/2.8 wide open many times too when I owned one.

Many professional fashion photographers use 300/2.8's wide open.

By the way, I listen opinions about which is the best lens for portraits ??

I hear that the 85 mm was the better size ???

Any consideration ?

Have FUN !!!

MAX - eager for the OM4....
