I use a Canon 7D with a 70-200mm lens. Now I want to buy a lens that can be used to take photos of flowers and grass and people. Can you give me some advice?

The lens for taking photos of flowers and grass and people must be original Canon. If the price is not too expensive and the performance is not too bad, the only choice is EF 100mm f/2.8, because This lens has been discontinued, and the second-hand price is about 3,000 to 3,500 yuan. If it must be first-hand, you can go to each store to inquire about the inventory. In addition, Canon has a new 100/2.8L, which is a red ring lens. The price is more than 6,000. It has a good optical stabilization mechanism. If you are not short of money, you can consider it.

In the same price range, in fact, secondary manufacturers have better choices, such as Sigma's 150mm/2.8, which has extremely sharp images, oily out-of-focus, rich colors, and extremely high sharpness, but the second-hand price It’s only less than 3,500 yuan. I also have a 7D on my back. I often use the Sigma 150 for macro photography of portraits and flowers. The effect is very good, so I highly recommend it. Tamron's 90mm/2.8 and 180mm/3.5 are also famous mirrors of the generation.

Considering the 7D format issue, if you think the focal length of the 100~150mm lens is too long, you can consider Tamron’s 60mm/2 macro. This lens can almost be regarded as the most suitable macro portrait lens for 7D!

In addition, I can tell you responsibly that the first answer and the second answer (I revised it and moved it below) are all amateurs just joining in the fun:

50mm super large diameter The magnification ratio of a standard fixed-focus lens is usually less than 1:7, and when the object distance is short and close to the minimum focusing distance, the aberration is significant and the resolution is significantly reduced. Although it is suitable for portraits, it is very difficult to take pictures of small flowers and plants. The shallow depth of field effect created by portrait photography can be perfectly achieved with 70-200 instead, so you don’t need this lens to achieve your requirements, and spending more than 10,000 yuan is meaningless.

Standard zoom lenses, whether it is 15-85, red circle 17-40 (for 7D) or lens king 24-70/2.8, their macro magnification is very limited, and the aperture is not It is too large to achieve macro photography of small flowers and grasses, nor can it control the depth of field well when shooting portraits. It is only suitable for traveling with a lens for convenience.

I hope that all netizens who are "enthusiastic" in answering will act according to their ability, bear certain responsibilities in their answers, and do not mislead others when they seem to understand but not understand!
