Hey everyone! I did a video like this a couple of years ago and with so many new lens releases since then, I thought it was finally time to do another one. Since I review so many lenses, these are 10 that stand out to me as good quality, affordable options for portrait photography. I have lenses from Sony, Samyang, Tamron and Sigma today. Let me know in the comments if you think I missed out on any! Maybe I should do a part 2 soon.
All photos edited with my Lightroom Presets: digitalfilmactions.com
Here are some of the completely review videos of the lenses I mentioned in this video:
