For this lens guide our focus is singularly on the best lens for shooting dog portraits — the one specific type of mirrorless and DSLR lens that I and so many other pet photography professionals use in the overwhelming majority of their shoots.
That’s not to say that this is the only lens you can use or that you can’t take great photos of pets with a different lens. But with that said, this is the only lens that I personally use for my paid pet photography assignments.
