Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM 85mm

43.3 Portrait Score
85mmf/22Canon EF
Why we recommend this

The f/1.8 aperture and ring-type USM motor deliver fast, quiet autofocus and strong subject isolation in a lightweight 425g body. Its Super Spectra coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting while maintaining high contrast, and the lens offers full-time manual focus override. This is best for portrait photographers on the Canon EF system who need a flattering short-telephoto perspective without the cost or weight of an f/1.2 lens.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

42.4 Portrait Score
10-22mm22-27Canon EF-S
Why we recommend this ▼

With an ultra-wide 10-22mm zoom (16-35mm equivalent) and a fast, quiet ring-type USM autofocus, this lens weighs just 385g, making it ideal for travel. Its 3 aspherical elements and 1 Super-UD element deliver sharp, detailed images across the frame, though the f/3.5-4.5 aperture limits low-light performance. Best for landscape and travel photographers seeking a compact, high-optics wide-angle zoom for Canon APS-C bodies.
