Is this good for pet or people portraits

I would say "yes, definitely". I think you just need to determine the proper setting for the lighting involved, but after that, it should be great.

I haven't used it for that I mainly do landscape and beach shots..Sorry I wish I could be more help..I Love my kit though for what I am using it for..

Honestly its great for any type of portraits. You just have to play with the filters in the different lightings.

I WOULD SAY IT IS MORE HELPFUL FOR LANDSCAPE PHOTOS. It's a good deal, but because they have to be fastened wit a set screw, it's not ideal for spontaneous shooting. I am not sure how much I will ever use this item.

No, not good for photo's. Image quality is poor in regular mode. Average in better image quality mode. Also, scan time is slow. It's okay for home use but not in a commercial setting.

Yes. Shoot wide open at f/2.8. At 4x zoom and longer it gives a pleasant background blur to portraits. Shoot over 4x for more blur.

I use it for printing museum exhibition quality prints, both color and black and white. You can see the individual pores on faces under magnification of the prints, not to mention the individual "peach fuzz" hairs on a child's or woman's cheeks. That's how good it is. It goes far beyond the resolution you seem to require.

this lens (85 mm ) not good for group pictures. a portrait yes, is for close-ups. a wide angle like my 14-24 mm would be perfect. or the 28-300mm for most anything. hope this will help.

It is fantastic for newborn photography as you are able to focus on a smaller subject. It also works great for portrait photography it just takes a little bit of getting used to moving back and forth to get the right composition because it does not zoom.

Absolutely. You can also use it landscape or portrait. I believe this is a great deal for the cost.

Hi, I think this would work for basic portraits. I haven't shot with it professionally before selling it off. I've only shot with it at home and had it for a few weeks. If you are looking to shoot more professionally, I would look into whitelightnings or alienbees. After working for a few on locations studios, those are what they were working with. They are very reliable and durable with the experiences I've had with them. As for your placement, I'm not sure since I've hadn't had the opportunity to shoot a prom. Usually you could ask the school how they did it in the past and what works best for them. This way you could get a feel for what worked and see if that works for you. If you get these, make sure you test them out properly before taking them on a shoot. Nothing is worse than not knowing your equipment capabilities before going on a shoot. Good luck!

I've used this lens for macro photography for two+ years and it produces excellent results. It is also fine for portraits. However, it would not be my choice for action shots such as dance programs where the photographer may not be able to adjust his/her distance from the subjects. A better choice might be a good zoom lens from Nikon or Tokina.

Im pretty sure. I used it for my wedding photobooth background. Its not as study, but it works for the price.

No.... get a 70-200 f2.8 nikkor or sigma if your on a budget. That lens is sharp but is not suited to portrait work.

Yes. It works great if you are doing a full picture or image. If you are not, then you need to trim off any extra or it will leave an ugly showing of the ploymer backing.

I think so. Is perfect for photography. You can always adjusted to make it look good in the pics.

With this lens you can get really close, its similar to macro lens but still remember its not the 24mm or a proper macro so you will have some not real proportions, still it solve a lot of close up for things i would not recommend it for portraits or face details

Yes, you can try the Pet setting under SCN. The shutter speed it really quick. It's good for taking pet. :)

Absolutely. It is a beautiful portrait lens. It's actually much more than even just 2 lenses in one. It's a beautiful general medium telephoto too.

Absolutely! It's a great focal length for portraits, and great Bokeh. Take a look at KenRockwell, dot com he has a review and a sample portrait shot, Bokeh and all...
