But it's a fixed focal length which may or may not suit. My main portrait lens is an old Canon 28-70 f2.8 (now replaced with the 24-70 f2.8), it's a lovely lens but is big, heavy and expensive. Sigma and Tamron both make lenses of a similar spec which are a deal cheaper but I have no personal expereince so can't comment on the quality.
