What Types Of Dslr Lenses Are Used For Fashion Photography Particularly In The Studio?

Are there any lenses which are specifically more suited to studio photography than others? I have an Olympus E410 DSLR with two lenses a standard zoom (17.5-45mm) and a zoom (40-150mm). Cheers people!

    If using a full frame camera then
    50mm is closest to the eyes view
    anything under that is considered wide angle and over that telephoto.
    For portraits then something around 85mm is considered the best and most flattering.
    Fashion will use all different lenses depending on what effect is required.

    For full-frame 35mm, they’re typically fixed lenses, like 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 200mm, with 1.2-2.8 widest aperture. For zoom lenses, 24-70mm, 70-200mm. The wider the zoom range, the more the image quality tends to suffer, hence the tendency to stick with fixed lenses.
    For medium formats (645), 60mm, 80mm, 120mm f/2.8-3.0 widest aperture.

    Most “big time” fashion photographers use medium format film or digital cameras.
    That being said, fashion is generally a more stylized portrait, so 35mm lenses in the classic portrait lengths of 75mm to 150mm are often employed.
