Canon Eos 5d Camera Body
Canon lenses for portraits?
What lens is best for portraits? I have a Canon Rebel XSi. I want more bokeh effect. Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 (Is this have ES? Also, I heard that the autofocus does not work after a while) 85 mm f1.8, Canon EF (No IS) Canon EF 50mm f1.8 (which I learned blocks to the camera) Thank you! Another question: Is my goal to work on a XSi Canon EOS 5D Mark II?
85 mm has always been my favorite focal length for portraits. Also, you will find it easier to get the foreground and background out of focus light with a telephoto lens, as 85 mm. The only time I've found is really useful is when I had to keep on hand a shot in a dark church at 1/8th of a second. If you are using studio flashes is not necessary, and if you are outdoors with f1.8 bokeh for which you are using a very fast shutter speed, so is not really necessary there either. I'll take the 85mm and learn to properly and keep the camera still. Good lessons for any purpose.

Do DSLR cameras ( or Canon EOS 5D Mark 2) work “body only”?
Work well… Or at all for that matter?
I’m looking everywhere for sample pictures of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II body only, NO lenses, but can’t seem to find any and am questioning whether it’s capable without a lens.
I want to buy one but am not sure I can afford a lens just yet (if you know the camera, it’s gonna take a few months, an arm, a leg, and my spleen too buy the body as is).
The camera will work without a lens, you just won’t have anything to focus an image on the sensor with and no aperture control. Even with a lens, you may not be able to take a photo due to lack of knowledge or due to breaking the camera. You may as well save enough to buy the camera with a lens (this will save you money) and to take classes before you throw your money away.
