I have only owned two lenses since I began photographing professionally: a 50mm and an 85mm. This setup has suited me perfectly fine for well over a decade. When I need another focal length, I rent it or borrow it.

Somewhere along the line, I developed an appreciation of storytelling. The more I choose to incorporate backgrounds instead of creamy bokeh, the more my 85mm sits on a shelf collecting dust. I have mainly opted for a 50mm focal length or wider for my portraiture. I have wanted a longer focal length a few times, but not enough to use my 85mm. The Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 65mm f2 lens would be an excellent option for portraits in these cases. . thephoblographer.com
