I really don't know what to recommend as a good portrait lens for a Nikon digital SLR, The 50mm f/1.4 is a great focal length, though a bit short for a close-in head shot with some subjects. The bokeh is not stellar. The 85mm f/1.4 is a wonderful lens with great bokeh, and is a good focal length for head shots or partial-body shots with digital. The 105mm f/2 is also a great lens with great bokeh, but is a bit long for anything other than a head shot, unless you move way back or are looking for that particular effect. The 60mm f/2.8 macro is not a good choice at all; f/2.8 is not wide enough and the bokeh is not good. The best one I can think of would be the manual focus 58mm f/1.2, which is an amazing lens but is only available used now and is staggeringly expensive. I really wish Nikon still made this one, since the used price now exceeds the brand-new list price when it was available. -- Jeremy | |
