I could suggest the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G as a good staring point though. Fast aperture, light weight, very sharp and just the right focal length for most portraiture on a DX body and it won't break the bank. Bought brand new, it's a $500 lens, give or take. Used versions can be had for a lot less.If your budget allows, a 70-200mm f/2.8 is my go-to but that requires breaking into the Fourth Digit....</blockquote>
