I finally saved up and got a Leica SL2-S because I've always wanted one but honestly I am so lost right now. I want to take those really pretty blurry background photos of my daughter's first birthday party next month here in Brooklyn. I heard I need a prime lens for that but I dont even know what that really means lol. Is it just a lens that doesnt zoom? My budget is like maybe 1200 max if that even buys anything good for this camera. I see stuff about Sigma and Panasonic also fitting the L-mount thing so is that true? I just want her to look sharp and the background to look soft and nice. Which prime lens is actually the best one for portraits on these cameras?
Congrats on the SL2-S! It is an amazing camera and you are totally gonna love it!! For those blurry backgrounds, you definitely want the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for L-Mount. Its built like a tank and super reliable.
- Super sharp for portraits
- Gorgeous soft backgrounds
- Fits your budget perfectly Honestly, this lens is a beast and just makes every shot look professional. Tbh you wont regret it!
