Episode Description from the Publisher

Before we get to long lenses, we're going into lenses that are designed for portraits, it doesn't matter if you're talking headshots, couples, quarter length, these are amazing lenses that are far more versatile than what they're called. Today's criteria are focal lengths between 70mm and 200mm, although 200mm is pushing it for some photographers, but it's our show, and we set the rules. The lenses featured in today's episode include the DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2D, AI-S Nikkor 85mm f/2, AI-S Nikkor 105mm f/2.5, Zuiko 100mm f/2.8, Takumar 85mm f/1.9, Canon 100mm f/2, AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G and AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G.
