Anybody use a macro lens for Portraits? Heard maybe they have great detail and sharpness, in my sights is the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens , shooting with 80D, yes I realize focal length is different on crop sensor, FF next investment, opinions please and thank you
I borrowed a friend's Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro lens for one day to do portraits of elders at a Senior Center last year. That lens has a true 1:1 magnification for macro. But also a portrait lens. Is it better than a Canon 85mm portrait lens? I cannot answer that, because I have never tested it. I used that Tamron 90mm Macro f2.8, on a Nikon crop sensor. Giving me a FOV of 135mm.
