The new Canon 6D24-70MM lens, why take such a small thing, and can't take close-ups, because the distance is more than 30cm.

Canon's 24-70mm lens or Nikon's 24-70 lens are standard zoom lenses, which will cover the most commonly used wide angle to medium focus. 24mm wide angle can be used to take pictures of the environment and children themselves, or family photos, and 70mm telephoto is very suitable for close-ups. In short, this kind of lens is very popular among professional children portrait photographers.

Close-ups of children can be taken at close range.

The closest focal length of this lens can be as long as 30cm. I didn't check the detailed data, but I found it was 85 mm longer than mine.

F/ 1.2L is much closer, which can be used to take close-ups of children's hands and feet. My 85 can only take pictures at intervals of 95cm, which is not as convenient as 24-70. It is very convenient to take pictures of active children.

Maximum aperture and background blur

The maximum aperture is f/2.8, which is the largest in the zoom lens, and it is a constant large aperture, which means that the maximum aperture will not change during the zoom process, and the wonderful moment of the child can be captured in low light. Moreover, the aperture of 2.8 can ensure enough background blur, which is very beneficial. The first step to make your photos artistic is to blur the background.

From this photo, we can see the characteristics of blur, close-up and color. Original film, without ps processing.
