The Stay Focused Podcast Episode #12: What Gear Should You be Investing in NOW…and What Should You Hold Off On Hi Everyone! It’s Emily and welcome back to another episode of the Stay Focused Podcast! A BIG question that I hear from a lot of new photographers is: “what gear should I be spending...
Review of the 200mm 2.0 lens Have you heard photographers talking about that magic 200mm 2.0 lens? It sounds like a dream lens, and the images you might have seen people post using this lens look like a fine work of art. Recently, I had the opportunity to test out the Canon 200mm 2.0. (Yes!...

Hello, Emily,
I am looking to purchase a new lens for my canon rebel t6 so of course I have the nifty fifty but now I want to upgrade. Although I love my canon 50mm I feel like I could be getting better images through a more tack sharp lens.
I see alot of pictures taken with a sigma art 85mm and they are incredibly sharp. I just feel like my canon 50mm isnt as good as the sigma art lens. My question is isn’t the 50mm and the 85mm kinda the same type of portrait lens but the bokeh is better on the 85mm? I dont want to buy basically the same type of lens that I already have if you think I should try something else.
What are your thoughts on a 135mm? What is the difference with this lens.
Thanks for your help
Vicki

Are you a photographer that is trying to figure out what lens you should purchase next? It’s a big decision, I know! Camera lenses are expensive and an investment. Different lenses will give you different results and you want to make sure that you’re buying the one that is right for you. I get asked...
I agree 100%. I purchased the 100mm macro and the 135. I do a lot of event photography. One day I picked up my 135mm because I was giving it one more go before I sold it thinking I only need one of the two and OMG! Major game changer for me.
And it didn’t break my bank. Right now it’s growing my balance. ReplyCancel
Hey Mel! I wish I could be of better help, but I have not used the 100. I have considered it for macro shots, but I’m very happy with the 135 so have never added the 100 to my collection. Good luck with whichever lens you decide and feel free to send me some of your shots with either lens 😉 -EmilyReplyCancel
