Have you been thinking about purchasing a new lens, and are searching for the best product that will fit within your budget? Whether it\u2019s for you or that special photographer on your holiday shopping list, read on. This comprehensive guide will cover lenses suitable for various photographic specialties in a range of prices. Some of these lenses are available as part of a kit, while rebates are offered on other models, making it a sweet deal.<\/p>\n

Portrait Photographers<\/strong><\/h5>\n

One of the most important features to look for when shopping for a portrait lens is a wide maximum aperture to make your subject stand out against a softly blurred background (commonly called \u201cbokeh\u201d). Moderate telephoto focal lengths, like 70mm to 135mm are well suited to portraiture. The standard \u201cnormal\u201d 50mm focal length is also a great way to go, especially when it\u2019s coupled with a wide aperture, like f\/1.8 or f\/2.8.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Canon shooter, take a look at the EF 135mm f\/2L USM AF<\/a><\/strong>telephoto lens, which is available in a kit from Adorama. The lens\u2019s telephoto focal length and wide f\/2 maximum aperture allow you to capture stunning portraits with a pleasing shallow depth of field. Two UD-glass elements correct secondary spectrum for sharpness and color. The Canon EF 135mm f\/2 L USM AF Telephoto lens kit<\/a> is a great value at $999.00, which includes a 72mm photo filter kit, lens cap leash, cleaning kit, lens shade, and a professional software package.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

If you have a full-frame DSLR, such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark III or a Nikon D810, and are looking for a standard prime lens for portraiture, consider Sigma\u2019s 50mm f\/1.4 DG HSM ART<\/strong><\/a> lens. Portrait and wedding photographers have praised its fast, accurate auto-focusing capabilities and pleasing bokeh. This lens incorporates Sigma\u2019s Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) system for quiet, high-speed focusing, and Super Multi-Layer Coating to reduce lens flare. The 50mm f\/1.4 DG HSM ART<\/a> lens retails for $949.00.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Nikon shooter, take a look at the 85mm f\/1.8G AF-S FX Nikkor<\/strong><\/a> lens. It will enable you to capture beautiful portraits, both in the studio and in natural light. Its wide aperture and medium telephoto focal length will produce soft, impressionistic background blur, while Nikon\u2019s proprietary Internal Focus (IF) system allows you to consistently capture images in sharp focus. A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quiet autofocusing. The 85mm f\/1.8G AF-S FX Nikkor<\/a> lens is reasonably priced at $446.95.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have the Olympus Micro Four-Thirds system and are looking for a portrait lens with a great deal of versatility, then check out the Olympus M.

This compact, mirrorless lens offers a wide to telephoto focal-length range, which is ideal for capturing active subjects like children at play. This lens is dustproof and splashproof, and travels well. It\u2019s a bargain at $399.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sports Photographers<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Sports shooters need a lens that\u2019s fast enough to stop action, and long enough to bring your subjects in close. Look for a telephoto lens with a wide maximum aperture. Be prepared to shell out serious money for lenses with maximum apertures of f\/2.8, while apertures of f\/4-5.6 tend to be more moderately priced. Zoom lenses will give you the greatest flexibility, such as a 70-200mm f\/2.8 or100-300mm f\/5.6. Image stabilization is a plus too, or you can use a monopod for additional support.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Nikon shooters, the 70-200mm f\/2.8GAF-S VR II Nikkor ED-IF<\/strong><\/a> is a professional quality lens that Adorama has bundled with a 77mm filter kit.

The kit is moderately priced at $649.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nature Photographers<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

Lens choices will vary depending on the type of outdoor photography you prefer, whether it\u2019s scenic and landscape, wildlife, or close-up and macro. Many landscape images are taken with wide-angle lenses, but there are also some awesome nature photos taken with \u201cnormal\u201d and short-to-medium zoom lenses. A number of all-in-one super zoom lenses are available on the market, which enable you to pack just one lens on your travels. However, wide, medium and long telephoto zooms offer very good options, and some include macro\/close-up capabilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Designed for professional wildlife photographers, the redesignedNikon AF-S Nikkor 400mm f\/2.8E FL ED VR<\/a><\/strong>is lighter and more rugged than its predecessor.

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Street Photographers<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Opinions vary when it comes to the best lenses for street photography. Some street shooters prefer to photograph subjects candidly from a distance, and use telephoto lenses or telephoto zooms. Others prefer to develop a rapport with their subjects, and prefer less intimidating lenses, like a 35mm or 50mm. Prime (single focal length) lenses are the first choice of many street photographers for their quality and sharpness. Some people enjoy using lightweight four-thirds format cameras and mirrorless lenses. These camera\/lens combos are less obtrusive, making it easier for a photographer to remain low-key; a \u201cfly on the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Nikon shooter looking for a long lens that will allow you to keep a distance from your subjects, consider the 85mm f\/1.4G IF AF-S Nikkor<\/a><\/strong>lens. This medium telephoto lens was designed for FX-format, full-frame DSLRs, and incorporates Nikon\u2019s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing.

This lens is sturdy and well constructed. Its 36mm effective focal length (35mm equivalent) enables you to get closer to subjects and include some of the environment. This lens is available as part of a bundled package or alone for $898.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Street photographers who shoot with Canon will enjoy the EF35mm f\/2 IS USM<\/a><\/strong>lens, which is available alone or in a bundle with a 67mm filter kit and wide-angle lens hood.

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you own an Olympus four-thirds system, the M. Zuiko45mm f\/1.8 Micro 4\/3<\/a><\/strong>lens is worth serious consideration. <\/strong>Itseffective focal length is 90mm (35mm equivalent), and allows you to capture striking portraits with a shallow depth of field on the street. It also performs beautifully in low light. It boasts quick and silent autofocusing, accurate tracking of moving subjects, and is very lightweight. This lens is available in either black or silver at an affordable price of $299.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fashion Photographers<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Fashion photography encompasses several photographic categories\u2014portraiture, environmental, product and close-up. If your specialty is shooting fashion, you should have lenses at your disposal to capture each of these aspects creatively. Telephoto focal lengths are great for shooting beauty, head shots and portraits, while wider focal lengths can be used for runway and environmental images. A combination of high-quality zooms and prime lenses should do nicely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A long telephoto zoom will allow you to bring a model in close without disrupting the moment you\u2019re trying to capture.A good choice is Tamron\u2019s 70-200mm f\/2.8 DI VC USD Zoom<\/a><\/strong>lens. <\/strong>It\u2019s available in lens mounts for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. You\u2019ll get a pleasing bokeh at f\/2.8, and a unique compression effect when you zoom out to 150-200mm. This lens has image stabilization, solid construction, and is resistant to moisture. The Tamron 70-200mm f\/2.8 DI USD sells for $1,499.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A standard zoom lens should be in every photographer\u2019s camera bag.

This lens has been praised for its solid construction and fast, accurate AF. It\u2019s available at $799.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just as with portraiture, a \u201cnormal\u201d 50mm focal length is very useful for photographing fashion and portraits. Pentax users should check out the SMCP-DA 50mm f\/1.8 Standard<\/a><\/strong>lens. It\u2019s designed for use with Pentax K-mount digital cameras. This lens is very compact and lightweight at just 1.5 inches long and 4.3 ounces.
