I thought aliens had arrived in Bradford for a minute
If they did it was years ago and they've been 'getting busy'!
There were a few characters that could well have been descended from aliens out...

Hi all,

I would like some suggestions on what are some good portrait lenses with good quality sharp images.

Thanks.
I'd've thunk your 90mm tamron would do a pretty sterling job???

Is it too long? Maybe look at a fast-50-ish offering (M/A/F/FA50 1.4 or DA50 1.8 or DA*55 1.4 or even DA70Ltd are all shorter) or maybe even a 35mm (FA's 31Ltd or 35-f2 or DA35-2.4)...

There's lots of suggestions but unsure of your usage or budget...

The 3rd one is beautifully composed but could use a bit of highlight recovery if possible... Maybe if you get chance a re-shoot (this is something I'm getting into) so you can stopdown a half stop (keeping the blue in the sky) then brighten and punch in post..

Was good fun... There was 3 of us out together in Bradford which at night is a good number... Felt safe to be part of a group but not so many of us that 'too many cooks...'

The 4th is the best of the bunch in my opinion...

Ebay is the best place I think. I'd forgotten about the Yongnuos. Excellent idea! (You could use your Sony version as a second flash using the built-in optical trigger).
Aye.. The sony version should work off-camera in slave mode with no worries...

On ebay you can ignore 'for Nikon/Canon' markers on the listing as they work on any system (except sony) - only having one firing pin
