Sorry I am an amateur and have heard that topic a lot lately and was wondering what and how are they achieved?
What are catchlights? How do you achieve them?

Use google. It will answer all your questions. You must then sort through the madness and folly to find good madness and folly.

There are many ways to achieve catchlight. Googling will definitely give you most if not all the ways. But here is some short pointers.
Catchlight is the reflection of some light source on the eye.
Therefore the light source must be placed in the line of sight of the subject (that is the subject must be able to "see" it even when looking towards the camera).
The light source need not be "light generating" (that is a light bulb, or flash, or window), it can be a white (or close to it) reflective surface of appropriate size as well.

Many hotshoe flashes have a catchlight card that can be used to increase the likelihood of catching it in the eyes of the subject.

Returned it for the 2.8 because I was debating so much and I got it for $1840 so I felt like just go for it so when I complement it later with the 24-70 ii then they'll match up. So far great just heavy.
