Best Prime Lens for Food Photography: 50mm vs 85mm

When not being a professional photography to shoot a commercial, I believe no one is willing to carry a studio, like multiple soft boxes and lenses, for just a simple visit of restaurant.

Down to earth, if it allows you to carry one prime lens only, what would you choose?

50mm, I like it with the reason that it’s close to what we see in eye and perfect to create first-person-perspective shots.

85mm, especially with macro feature, I prefer it because it can enhance the view that is normally omitted and create a mouthwatering scene.
