Sorry to hijack the thread - had a look but can't see anything elsewhere... However, is anyone able to link me to a thread which has any advice on preventing the 'shine' on the middle of a fish during a self take, during day and night - is it a lighting issue which could be solved by a flash or a light source at an angle, etc?
Any links or tips appreciated, sorry to hijack

I much prefer the compression of longer glass as close as possible to a subject, and lit artistically. You can't really go wrong nowadays if you know your way around off camera flash and photoshop

A 35mm lens is a great lens. I once worked with a wedding photographer who only used a 35mm lens the whole wedding. One of the biggest downsides of a 35mm lens is that you must be very close to your subject in most portrait scenes.

I have said this once already but seriously, if you are running a Canon and you want a trophy shot lens that works within a few feet then this is the only option. Its also very thin (hence the term pancake lens).Stunning thing that gives amazing results for all close portraiture.

There is a lot to be said for a good zoom 
Its a shame there is that gap between 35-50 in the sigma 1.8 zoom lineup, a lense bridging that gap would be great for angling!

OK, a cropped sensor. For many years I've use a Canon EF 28mm f/1.8. Brilliant lens and image quality is close to an L series prime. Awesome for self-takes and great in general for man with fish pictures. Also worth mentioning the big aperture of this lens and how much light it lets in - meaning less need to use flash and pictures really do pop with this lens.

One of my go-to lenses is the 24/70 Sony GM. As a wedding photographer, it's my bread and butter lens by I use it for fishing a lot. It's not super fast at f2.8 but if you know about topaz denoise you won't be too concerned about stupidly high ISO levels. I love the versatility of tight shots and also going wide without the faff of swapping out lenses being the lazy bugger that I am. I also love my portrait lens the 85mm f1.4, that's pretty magical. It requires you to focus with the feet but the bokeh and depth is crazy good.
