Seriously what is the actual best prime for portraits on a Nikon D750 because im about to lose my mind with this 50mm 1.8g I have. It just feels so flat and the bokeh is kinda ugly and busy most of the time and I cant stand it anymore.
Im supposed to shoot my sisters engagement photos next month in a park near Seattle and I need something that actually looks professional and creamy. My budget is around 700 bucks if I buy used. Ive been looking at the 85mm 1.8g or maybe a Sigma Art but I dont know if the weight is worth it. Is the 85mm really that much better for getting that blurry background or am I just doing something wrong...
Honestly, the 50mm can feel a bit clinical sometimes. If you want that creamy look, grab the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G right now. Its way lighter than the Sigma and the bokeh is much smoother than the 50. If you dont mind the weight, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for Nikon F used is a beast and definitely fits your budget.
