Even though I work with the majority of models aged 17yrs to 30yrs some of the lenses I have used will make a face unflattering unless the model has porcelain skin when I can then go all out for sharpness.

I cringe when I see a pore free texture free airbrushed portrait. I also do not have time to remove every wrinkle. If you pose and light them well initially you can normally cover most of the imperfections. I aim to get my photos correct in camera so rarely airbrush a pimple unless a one off special photo. “As for sharp lenses for portraiture, I specialise in female portraits and have used some of the best and sharpest lenses for Nikon, Leica and medium format Contax 645, Mamiya RZ67 and more.Ī point was raised above Can a lens be too sharp for a flattering portrait? Answer Yes I think so. I just replied to the above thread and I thought you may find the topic of interest and the details below of potential use. 🙂Īuthor matthewosbornephotography Posted on OctoNovemFormat Image Categories Model Photographer Tags nikkor 50mm 1.2, nikkor 50mm f1.2, nikkor 50mm f1.2 ai-s portraits, nikkor 50mm f1.2 portraits, nikkor 50mm f1.2 review, nikkor 50mm f1.2 sample photos, nikon 50mm f1.2 1 Comment on Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AI-s Shared: (LinkedIn) – Can Lenses Be To Sharp For Portraits?ĭiscussion – Can Lenses Be To Sharp For Portraits? I did break out the Leica M9 towards the end of the shoot so new examples to come using the Leica M9 + Jupiter 3 (Russian copy of a Sonnar 50mm f1.5 lens) combo. I was using mix of Arri light and a speedlight lighting I tend to use it less for wedding photography unless light level are very low.

The old manual focus AI-s Nikkor 50mm f1.2 is in my top 3 Nikon mount portrait lenses that I use for my model fashion and beauty photography. Fantastic lens that I love shooting close and wide open (f1.2). The Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AI-s was on the D800 for most the day.

I wont list likes/ dislikes here as full comparison of the two cameras to follow. Especially when using very shallow DOF as I do. The D800 DSLR is so fast and easy to use after using a rangefinder for a while. I gave the Leica M9 a rest and let the D800 take over.
Nikon D800 was back in action today after a few months break. If anyone wants to sell me their Konica Hexanon 60mm f1.2 for my Leica M9 I would be very grateful!ĭ800 + Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AI-s, a photo by MatthewOsbornePhotography_ on Flickr. In terms of shallow DOF medium format film camera lenses the Contax 645 CZ Planar 80mm f2 equates to 46mm f1.2 in 35mm sensor terms and the Mamiya RZ67 110mm f2.8 Sekor lens is equal to 52mm f1.3. I plan to do some more 120 film photography with it when I get chance. The result of this effect has given this D800 photo a more vintage look straight from camera which is quite nice. Here are a few film samples – know it is known to be a nice lens for film but it just cannot compete with the Nikkor 200mm f2 AI-s in terms of resolution wide open or stopped down on the D800. Due to the larger medium format film sensor the Sonnar 180mm is the equalent of approximately 92mm f1.4 on a 35mm camera so it can give some really nice shallow DOF shots.
I bought the Sonnar originally to use on my ARAX-CM medium format 6×6 film camera. I was using the Nikon D800 for most of the studio shoot with model Alex so I dug out my Carl Zeiss Jena (“CZJ”) Sonnar 180mm f2.8 lens to have a play with.
