70-200 f4 L for portraits?

I suppose it is good if your portraits are shot in optimum light or on a tripod.


I'd still prefer the 85 1.8 over this lens.

You're right on both accounts. I also prefer the 85 1.8. Outstanding portrait lens, much faster, IQ excellent, and it's somewhat in the middle of the range of the 70-200.


We can always zoom with our feet, right?
