[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 10813, member: 986"] One of the most popular lens for portraits is the 85mm f/1.4. The bokeh is incredible. From what I've read, especially on full frame, it is the most used by professionals because you don't have to get as close to the subject as you would with the 35mm or 50mm. I would think that it would be easier to use studio lighting as well because you'd have less chance to throw a shadow. Downside is cost. The Nikkor 1.4 "D" version is around US$1000 while the newer "G" version is about US$1700. Personally, I purchased a used 1.8 "D" from a working pro for around $300 and am very happy with it. I can still lust over the 1.4 though! :-) [/QUOTE]
