However, by \u2018portrait lens\u2019 we usually mean something specific: a short telephoto that will take head-and-shoulders shots without distorting your subject\u2019s features. Typically, this means lenses in the 85mm-135mm equivalent range.<\/p>\n<p>For portraits, wide-open sharpness isn\u2019t essential; indeed, a little softness will often be flattering. However, the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus blur, or \u2018bokeh\u2019, is paramount; a distracting background can detract from an otherwise fine image.<\/p>\n<p>The obvious first step for APS-C DSLR users is to buy a 50mm f\/1.8 for this kind of photography. But if you want to take your people pictures up a notch, these are the lenses you should be considering.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119231\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg\" alt=\"Canon EF 85mm f1.4L IS USM\" width=\"1000\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg?resize=300,279 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg?resize=430,400 430w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg?resize=900,837 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Canon-EF-85mm-f1.4L-IS-USM.jpg?resize=562,523 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>Canon EF 85mm f\/1.4L IS USM<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a31,380<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canon.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.canon.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Canon users who want the very best need look no further than this image-stabilised fast prime.

Most obviously, it prides itself on the small size of its full-frame Alpha 7-series mirrorless cameras, but then makes vast, expensive lenses to go with them. For example, its FE 85mm f\/1.4 GM is absolutely phenomenal, but sadly its \u00a31,649 price tag is prohibitive for all but the most well-heeled of enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the FE 85mm f\/1.8.

Image quality is everything we\u2019d expect given the Leica badge, with superb sharpness across the frame even at f\/1.2, and minimal chromatic aberration.<\/p>\n<p>If this pricey optic is beyond your means, Panasonic also offers the compact, image-stabilised Lumix G 42.5mm f\/1.7 ASPH OIS for an altogether more affordable \u00a3299.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119239\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg\" alt=\"Pentax SMC DA 55mm f1.4 SDM\" width=\"1000\" height=\"957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg?resize=300,287 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg?resize=418,400 418w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg?resize=900,861 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Pentax-SMC-DA-55mm-f1.4-SDM.jpg?resize=562,538 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>Pentax SMC DA 55mm f\/1.4 SDM<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a3649<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pentax.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.pentax.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While neither Canon nor Nikon have shown much enthusiasm for making APS-C-specific primes, there\u2019s a decent range available for Pentax users. Despite its focal length, the SMC DA 55mm f\/1.4 SDM is designed to be used as a portrait lens on APS-C DSLRs, offering a classic 85mm equivalent view. Its large aperture, weather-sealed construction and silent focusing go a long way to explaining its relatively high price. Optically it\u2019s well-suited to its job, with a flattering slight softness with the aperture wide open and gorgeous bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>Full-frame Pentax users, meanwhile, have a unique portrait lens of their own to play with, in the shape of the SMC FA 77mm f\/1.8 Limited. At \u00a3929 it\u2019s pricey, but beautifully built, with old-fashioned manual focus and aperture rings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119267\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Tamron-SP-85mm-f1.8-Di-VC-USD-.jpg\" alt=\"Tamron SP 85mm f1.8 Di VC USD\" width=\"790\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Tamron-SP-85mm-f1.8-Di-VC-USD-.jpg 790w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Tamron-SP-85mm-f1.8-Di-VC-USD-.jpg?resize=300,380 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Tamron-SP-85mm-f1.8-Di-VC-USD-.jpg?resize=316,400 316w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Tamron-SP-85mm-f1.8-Di-VC-USD-.jpg?resize=562,711 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/>\n<h2>Tamron SP 85mm f\/1.8 Di VC USD<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a3749<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tamron.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.tamron.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At first sight, the idea of buying a third-party 85mm f\/1.8 for \u00a3300 more than its Canon or Nikon equivalents makes little sense. But it turns out Tamron\u2019s 85mm f\/1.8 is no ordinary lens. For a start, it\u2019s a member of the firm\u2019s premium SP line-up, which means high-quality optics and moisture-resistant construction. It also includes optical image stabilisation, which will help you get sharper pictures when shooting in low light.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, it\u2019s capable of providing the kind of dreamily beautiful pictures that mark out a really superb portrait lens, and it works equally well on full-frame and APS-C cameras. With excellent sharpness, gorgeous bokeh and minimal chromatic aberration, it\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119244\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg\" alt=\"Zeiss Batis 135mm f2.8\" width=\"1000\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg?resize=300,209 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg?resize=573,400 573w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg?resize=900,628 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/06\/Zeiss-Batis-135mm-f2.8.jpg?resize=562,392 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>Zeiss Batis 135mm f\/2.8<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a31,549<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeiss.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.zeiss.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sony has really shaken up the market with its full-frame mirrorless cameras, but even with a frenetic development programme, it still can\u2019t match the DSLR makers\u2019 lens line-ups. Currently its longest FE prime is just 100mm. Luckily if you prefer a longer portrait lens, Zeiss has the answer, with its superb Batis 135mm f\/2.8.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of specification it ticks all the boxes, with weather-sealed construction and optical image stabilisation. But typically for Zeiss, it\u2019s the sheer optical quality that really stands out. The lens delivers sensational sharpness, and with its apochromatic design, no hint of colour fringing from chromatic aberration. Out-of-focus backgrounds are blurred away beautifully. I simply can\u2019t imagine anybody being disappointed by this lens: it\u2019s absolutely sublime.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Westlake recommends the best optics to consider, for shooting excellent people pictures<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":119234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[312,42],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-119228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lens_round-ups","category-round-ups"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
