Its good for portraits?

It can be used very effectively and creatively for portraits (there a number of good video tutorials floating about). However, it's not a substitute for studio lighting -- although it can augment it or give you more flexibility when it's not possible to use studio lighting.

Yes. Good for portraits. Ringflash gives great fill in facial portraits. It also leaves ring reflection in eyes

Can Be - The GN for this flash is relatively low since it's designed for close up work, within a foot or two. However, it's probably fine as a fill light or if you're in the habit of using a 50mm lens or wider as a portrait lens. Personally I like shooting portraits with focal lengths greater than 100mm and using at least a couple of lights at an angle and not directly head-on. For glamor lighting (head on lighting) I use an A-B ringflash with w/ 32inch softbox, I don't use this for portraits but for specific fashion shoots and clothing designers.

No, its not good for portrait shots. You do not want lighting blasting into the face of a subject. Lighting should come from a 45 degree angle to the subjects face.

Yes. I have the same Camera and Lens. Portraits come out well at 50 mm and f 5.6 or higher

No, this is perfect for portraits, unless you have been using a 105mm. Lense is a little bit heavier than if you went with fixed focus, but the 24-70 is just perfect for indoors & the f/2.8 let's you keep you ISO at about 200 & still shoot without flash. WARNING: Don't use lens hood with on-camera flash at less than 45mm. You will get a shadow at the bottom of picture.

Depends on what feels and works best for you in your style of image taking. Go to a pro shop and play with one before you buy.

Sure, that's a nice lens for most portraiture. If you're shooting up close to a particular individual, you may want a slightly longer lens - say the 85mm. If you get super close with a 35mm you'll get a slightly more prominent nose. The 85 will compress the features and flatten the face a bit, giving a nicer shot. For groups this is perfect.

It's a great lens but I have not used it for portraits. I have used it for travel photography and other family events.

It is good for portraits! Because it's only a 35mm you can stay close to your subject; the width feels perfect to me. F/1.8 is really big too, I try to stay at F/2 to keep the whole face in focus. Excellent bokeh, and tack sharp. Good for product shoots too.

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.

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

It's not a typical portrait lens because it's wide and if you are too close to your subject you will get some distortion. Having said that I exclusively use this lens for portraits and love it. It's great for tighter spaces. (Typical portrait lens is 50mm).

Its a great all around lense. It produces very sharp images. Portrait shots will definatelly come out crisp but keep in kind that its a 70-300 lense, therefore; distance may be an issue when trying to shoot indoors.

In my opinion, It seems to make sharper images.. The bokeh is beautiful and also seems to be one of the top picks for portrait photographers... It happens to be my favorite!

This lens is great for portraits and all around great lens. It can be used many ways for outside and inside.

It works really well that all I use it with. The only problem is occasionally the wings fall off but only a problem if someone bumps you. It's not very good in a crowded club, unless you have a tripod and a corner. I really like this product it's just so nice for portraits. I hope this helps .

Hi, thanks question. I think this lens is good for portraits. My recommendation is AF-S 50mm F1.8G, AF-S 35mm F1.8G. If certain distance is short focus , would be good if necessary zoom can afford. Thanks in advance.

If you have a better tripod and a decent camera its ok. Not professional Quality. I photograph model cars and it does a good job.

It's a great lens for portraits. I use it all the time! If I schedule portrait sessions -it's pretty much the only lens that stays on my camera. (I use the Nikon D600.)
