I am looking for a good lense for portrait photos right now the only lense i have is the 18-200vr on my d200
Plan on doing indoor and outdoor portraits was wondering what i should be looking at.
You already have a lens that covers portrait range. Its just not that fast of a lens. It is a decent lens though. I would say go with the 50 1.8. My reasoning is 1 its cheap. 2 they are replacing the 50 1.4 with an AF-S version which means the price on the current D type 50 1.4 will go down and or get a rebate. 3 its not that bad of a lens. 4 when you are ready for the faster one, you can normally get a good bit of the original amount back since its so cheap in the first place.

or misleading ads, and the decision will be final. Nikon. BUY. I am looking for a Super Wide Nikon Lense 12mm~24mm F4 and a 80~200mm F2.8 Tele Lense.

well i been looking at the 50mm 1.8 just because its a decent price
the budget is under 500$
autofocus is preferred.
The 85mm f/1.8 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/84151-USA/Nikon_1931_Telephoto_AF_Nikkor_85mm.html) is a sweet portrait lens, sharp as a tack with great bokeh. It might be a little long for indoor use unless you have a large room to work in.
Here's an example of the 85mm at f/3.2..... I think

That was one of the worst decisions I have made. This 70-200mm Nikon Lense is a very beautiful lense, you will have no regrets purchasing it

I've got more somewhere, but I know this was the 85mm and I'm thinking it's SOOC. It is a robust lens.

What is your budget?
What is your budget?
+1
Prime or zoom?
How important is low light situations?
Autofocus or manual?
BTW, singularly, it is spelled lens. :lol:
50 1.4? If you get the 1.8 you will end up always thinking about upgrading it anyway.
Do you need to be able to zoom or will a fixed focal length work for you?
