Good fixed-length lens for portraits? Good ، good fixed-length lens for portraits? good
I’m hoping to purchase a Nikon D70S and the kit 18-70 soon. It’s my second DSLR, but it’s been a few years since I’ve used one. Also a few years since my last photography course (a throwaway undergrad one).
I’m buying this camera to take pics of my twins, due in April. As with my son, this’ll be both for putzing around the house snapping away, as well as more organized shots like christmas cards and whatnot. This question is regarding the latter.
I need to be educated on what the difference is between something like a 35mm 1.8 and a 50mm 1.8. I realize it’s simply the focal length, but what does this mean if I’m trying to line up my kids to take a portrait. Does the 35mm simply allow me to stand closer, or to include more people in the image?
Also, for either focal length, what is a good F stop for portraits? 1.8 is nice and all, but that’s a very shallow depth of field. What’s common?
Thanks all. I realize these are noob questions, but I’m just trying to "remember" what I knew a few years ago.
For your troubles…a couple of my favorites. My son back in 2024.
D70, 50mm F2.5
D70, 50mm F1.8
