Good portrait lens for APS-size sensor camera? Best answer 10 points!?
Hi I have a Nikon D40 (ie not a full frame sensor, the factor is about 1.5, I think).
I would like to do some indoor portrait shots, and I want to pick a lens which is fast enough, and whose focal length is long enough to blur out distracting backgrounds (pictures on walls etc). I don't mind if the lens is not an AFS mount, although obviously that is a preference.
If I get the 50mm f/1.8, will it blur the background the way I want?
What about the 85mm f/1.8?
And the 105mm f/1.8? (Also, is this lens too tele to be able to use indoors?)
Finally, if I get the 28-75 f/2.8, will this give me the flexibility to blur out the background at the long end, while keeping it in focus at the wide end, ie will it give me the flexibility to switch between the two?
Thanks a lot, I still only have the kit lens, so any advice much appreciated.
Yeah, you'll probably make out okay using your kit lens at 55mm, wide open. That's f/5.6, though, so you'll want to have the background kind of distant from the subject.
For better control, the 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 is a great choice, especially now that there is an f/1.4 AF-S lens. Not cheap. The f/1.8 lens is a real bargain.
Anything longer than that will be a handicap indoors.
The 28-75 should work nicely.
