What is best portrait lens for nikon
The 5 Best Nikon Portrait Lenses | BL Quick Tips
hey there i'm tom from bar lenses comm
and today we're gonna talk about our top
five portrait lenses for Nikon f-mount
cameras we've got a lot of Nikon
shooters in our office and we've come up
with this list based on what our friends
and co-workers here at BL are shooting
so if you're looking to jump into
portraiture with the right gear or just
looking to change it up on your next
shoot and try something new then this
video is for you let's jump in a quick
note if you're looking for the Canon
version of this video you can find it
right here
first up Nikon's 85 millimeter F one
point four G 85 s might just be the
perfect telephoto lenses for portraiture
in this case the 85 millimeter F one
point four is a fast relatively
affordable high-end lens from Nikon that
makes stellar portraits in a myriad of
situations studio work sure
on location work definitely next is the
70 to 200 F 2.8 g vr 2 lens 70 to 200 as
many of you probably know is the staple
lens in any event photographers bag you
can use any part of the zoom range for
portraits and because of that zoom range
you've got a lot of flexibility when
you're working if you're undertaking a
portrait shoot you could easily just
take the 70 to 200 and get the job done
well third on our list is the 58
millimeter F 1 point 4 G 58 millimeters
that's an oddball length but we've got
reasons for choosing this lens over the
regular ol 50 the 58 nudges up into that
short telephoto category without leaving
the 50 millimeter family it's kind of
look that's just hard to put your finger
on see for yourself
fourth on our list is the 35 millimeter
F one point four G if you're into primes
and you need something for environmental
portraiture the 35 millimeter is where
it's at of course that's not to say that
you can't get in close with this lens
add drama to your tighter shots with the
35 and make your images pop and last our
list is the ubiquitous 24 to 70 F 2.8 II
it's meant to be paired up with the 70
to 200 and the 2 together in tandem make
for the ultimate get it done event
photographer package even on its own the
24 to 70 gives you a great focal range
from wide to short telephoto it's great
on location in low-light situations and
in the studio but more is there to say
and that's our top 5 for Nikon but the
list wouldn't really be complete without
two honorable mentions first we'll call
out the 50 millimeter F 1 point 4 G 50
millimeter is just perfect in so many
ways it's a focal length that
approximates the human eye pretty well
and it's nice and fast whether you want
great bokeh or need to shoot in a low
light situation next I have to call out
the 85 millimeter of 1.8 G yeah we've
got the 85 1.4 on our list but if that
lands outside of your price range the 85
1.8 will satisfy it's still plenty fast
really sturdy and darn cheap there you
have it our top picks for nikon portrait
