  Is this a good lens for portraits?

  Would this be compatible with my wife's Nikon D3200?

    Not for portrait, you need a longer focal length for portrait like 50mm on D3200 because of the crop factor.

      This is DX not FX.

        I don't know what that means.

        @huwcar:

        It will be fine if you want nice creamy backgrounds. You might have to be a little bit close to your subject though, but you might actually appreciate the fact that you don't have to step too far back to take a wide picture.

        Ok great, that sounds like the right sort of thing then :)

        @huwcar:
        Normally you would use FX lenses on cameras with FX-format sensors.
        Or DX lenses on cameras with DX-format sensors.
        The Nikon D3200 is a DX camera.

    Short answer is yes 😀. I have one for my d3300 and it's great lens for portrait, night and even landscape.

    Most people like a longer lens for portraits.

    Something like a 85mm (ff equivalent) would be the sweet spot I think, and a fast aperture for good subject isolation.

    i have this lens and it is really excellent

    i also have the fx 50mm (which means it ends up being 70mm+ or something on the DX camera) anyway I use the 50mm for portraits and the 35mm for everyday walking around & night shots. Hardly use the kit lenses anymore

  This is a lovely lens to shoot with, and at a good price.

  I actually throw this onto my FX camera too, and use it without crop mode. It's sweet to have a fast wide lens, but just take note the vignetting is extreme since the lens is a DX.

  •

    That seems a bit wasteful since Nikon have made about 7 million fast 50 lenses for FF, but up to you.

    • 

      schwinn on 14/09/2016 - 17:04

      I have a 35mm DX because I upgraded from a d90 to a d610. I suppose the waste is me not selling that off, but I'm very procrastinating when it comes to selling lenses.

      I do have a 50 and 85 1.8, which are brilliant.

        I thought this lens was supposed to be about the only DX lens ever made that was usable on fx bodies? How extreme is it?

        Indoors, where light is limited you'll see blackish corners. Not noticeable on a bright day outdoors.
