Best lens for portraits?

Best lens for portraits? I need a portrait lens for my Canon R8. I read that the RF 85mm lens is the best for portraits. But I also read that the RF24-70 is a gold standard for portraits. How can the 24-70 be so good for that if it doesn’t have the 85mm reach? Trying to decide which one to get. submitted by /u/AMomentInTime316

Should I get a 100-400mm lens or 180-600mm lens for wildlife filming? I am going to film jaguars and I am torn between a 100-400mm lens and a 180-600mm lens.

Is the difference between 400 and 600mm a big one at this distance, or will I be able to get good close ups with 400mm? And…
