In this video I wanted to see just how different one of Canon’s cheapest prime lenses performs for portraits compared to it’s L series counter-part. I also give you a chance to guess which image was taken by which lens, so you can see for your self how easy (or difficult) it may be to spot the differences in the results they produce.
