Nikon AF-S NIKKOR ED
Best prime lens for professional portrait and artistic photography.
This is the ultimate portrait prime for those who prioritize creamy, dreamlike bokeh above all else. It is a heavy, uncompromising piece of glass that demands a steady hand, but the trade-off is a level of subject isolation and optical clarity that few other lenses can replicate.
