The first ever Presidential portrait shot with a digital camera is up and it looks great. From the metadata we can see that it was shot by Pete Souza on a 5D mk II at f/10, at 105mm. They probably were using this lens, which is a great zoom for sitting portraits, but costs 1500 ducats. Somehow doubt they cut corners for projects like this.
Focus is good, bokeh is smooth, and the Prez-elect is lookin’ good. High fives all around. Don’t like that tie, though.

There’s no bokeh in this picture, just badly decorated OOF flagie for BG, sadly.
If i were to take studio shot, i would go for 24-105mm than the 3 lb 70-200, but again, i’m much more of a prime shooter.
My guess would be 24-105mm
