You might remember last year I posted about my Canon L prime lenses and my Canon L zooms. This is the third post talking about the tools I typically use at a wedding and many of my film projects. You might remember how much I loved my Canon L primes lenses from my previous post, here are my specialty lenses pictured below.
Shown from left to right are the 15mm 2.8 Fisheye and the 100mm 2.8 Macro.
I refer to these lenses as my specialty lenses since they have limited uses and give specific looks. Both lenses offer some great advantages compared to everything else in my bag, that is the reason I use them at every wedding for specific shots. Keep reading below for a few notes about each lens and a few favorite images I took with it.
Canon EF 15mm 2.8 Fisheye
Canon EF 100mm 2.8 Macro I mainly use my macro lens at every wedding for ring shots and occasionally getting ready shots. This lens allows me to focus as close as 12 inches (film plane to subject) so I can capture the smallest details on a wedding day. When shooting details at the minimum focus distance, the depth of field is very shallow a 2.8 so I often bump it up to 5.6 or 8 which requires more light. Because if this, I always try to get details done early in the day using natural window light, if that isn’t possible bouncing a flash works well. Here are a few examples of images shot with my Canon 100mm macro.
