Portrait Lens

Hi Guys!

What lens do you prefer to use to shoot our very own Pinay models?

To start of, I like using my 70-200 for excellent sharpness of the subject and creamy bokeh.

What's yours?

with budget constraints : 50mm f1.8

with no budget constraints: 24-70 f2.8 / 70-200 f2.8

kapag galit sa pera : primes :twisted:

kapg no budget : kit lens

for portraits, my staple lenses are:

for my Canon 50mm f1.2 (my everyday carry lens) and Canon 85mm f1.2

for my Nikon I use 24-70 f2.8. but my favourite is the 105mm f2.8 -even though it was created for macro work you cant beat it not just for the creamy bokeh but the sharpness of the bokeh.

28-70mm F2.8
80-200mm F2.8
50mm F1.4

eto sakin

NIKON D80
SB800
18-200 VR
85mm f1.8
NIKON CAPTURE NX V2.0

Sigma 70-200 f2.8 version II on tripod though since no VR

28-70mm F2.8
80-200mm F2.8
50mm F1.4
Sigma 105mm F2.8 (added today)

Congratulations on your new glass sir vietkong, bilis ah kakabenta lang ng tamron mo ah.

in my opinion, any lens can serve as a portrait lens when used correctly. Kasi napapansin ko mga iba kahit na 18-55mm, ang galing ng kuha.

+1 and Agree 100%

Agree din ako pero mas gusto ko parin na mas maganda lens ko syempre less effort hehe kaya inggit ako sa mga lens ng iba bibili din ako nyan pag laki ko

Tons of lenses varieties were created to cater photographer's needs. Each and every photographer has his photography unique style and taste. We choose what we need and deemed applicable to our photography style.

People might be contented with a kit lens or needless to say an AI or a Pre-AI lens. Todate, I can still shoot with my 35-70mm AI lens mounted on a Nikon FA/F3 HP film camera and still gives me the colors and sharpness that I love most.

In summary, Portrait lens is a personal choice. And my fellow PG Jing Lim will agree that in that saying "Wala sa Pana yan nasa Indian Yan" pero pag yung "PANA eh Carbon Fibre daw mas effective yung Indian" on the premise na walang sira yung mata nang Indian! nayahahhahahaah

Thanks bro. Just realized that the Tammy doesn't give me the things that I need for a lens. Thanks to Jing for the advice to go 28-70mm F2.8

haha parang hindi ako agree ah, kasi si Buknoy yung may hawak ng D40 eh try natin ipahawak kay Ramboo or paano kung eto may hawak ng D40?


So para sakin mas maganda yun may hawak ng D40 este masmaganda yung maganda na yung pana dapat pogi pa yung photographer

malaki po ba difference sa sharpness ng mga lens 70-200 2.8 vs 50mm 1.8?? lets say tamron/sigma 70-200 2.8 vs nikon 50mm 1.8

Hi Erwin, I cant give the exact details how it defines but for my opinion as long as you have an accurate focus and (shutter speed vs. light) mo walang pinagkaiba kahit anong lens.

Basta try to know your lens strengths and weaknesses pag dating sa focusing most of non pro lenses merong error sa pinakamalaking aperture for example sa 50mm f1.8 dont use f1.8 use f2 or f2.8 as your largest aperture.

Pag low light try to use tripod if you're using slow shutter or boost your ISO, you can also use flash to compensate.

Hope this will help

One stop down on the apperture will produce great sharp results.
