The Best Lenses for Food Photography
Take Your Food Photography to the Next LevelIn photography, the
right camera lens is everything.
If you’re a professional food photographer or blogger, or are simply trying to take your food photos beyond Instagram, we’ve got suggestions for the best lenses for food photography.
Macro Lenses
Every food photographer needs a good macro lens in their arsenal.
Macro lenses allow photographers to capture details in dazzling clarity.
Canon 60mm Macro Lens
The Canon EFS 60mm Macro Lens is a lightweight 60mm macro lens. With a floating inner focus system, 90mms of working distance and life-size (1:1) magnification, this lens will brilliantly capture your dish’s gooey, saucy steaminess.
Compatible with Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras with EF-S mounts, including the Canon Rebel T4i, and the Canon EOS 6D.
Canon EF 100mm
The Canon EF 100mm macro lens is in another dimension altogether. With 4-stop correction to compensate for camera shake, food photographers can move through their shoot with ease, capturing stunning close-ups, without a tripod.
The Canon EF 100mm macro lens is compatible with any Canon digital SLR camera.
Nikon 85mm Micro Lens
The Nikon 85mm 3.5 micro lens with internal stabilizers allows for the 1:1 capture of texture, detail and color variation with a lightweight lens for sharp shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Compatible with Nikon Digital SLR cameras, including the Nikon D3100 DSLR.
Nikon 105mm Micro Lens
For food that’s ready for its extreme close-up, there’s the Nikon 105mm micro lens. This macro lens brings Nikon’s VRII image stabilizers to the resolution of 105mms. Plus, this lens can pull double duty as an everyday lens – producing stunning photos no matter what you’re shooting.
Compatible with all Nikon Manual Focus, Auto Focus or DSLR cameras.
Standard 50mm Lenses
Of course, to tell the full story, you still need a standard lens. For this purpose, it’s all about the glass.
Nikonites have the Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens while Canonites get the Canon EF 50 mm 1.4 lens, both excellent lenses for food photography – or anything else you might get into.
