p.5 #7 · p.5 #7 · Your favorite Nikon portrait lens and why? | |
I don't do very many portraits, but I do have several lenses that I like to use if the occasion rises.
I recently acquired a Mamiya 645 lens, 55mm f/2.8, which showed a lovely OOF background along with fairly sharp in-focus details at wider apertures. $73 including shipping of eBay from Hunt's Photo and Video.
I shot M645 55mm on the D800e side-by-side with a Canon 1Ds3 and 24-70/2.8L lens, and although the Canon did very well, there was something the client and I both liked better about the Nikon combo, 4 to 1 in the final choice of poses. I was kind of surprised that the manual focus/manual aperture beat the AF and auto aperture, at least in this anecdotal case.
Here are a couple from the shoot this morning.
Hand held, on-camera fill flash, PP in LR6CC.
