New lens, Mike what do you think?




Mike, Even though I have been taught to work from life I find that potential clients care not to sit for a portrait. They rather have me work from a photo. So, investing in a good camera is a must. I have decided to invest in the Nikon D70s. The lens that comes with this camera is the 18-70mm. My question is: is this a good lens for portraits, head shots and what would be a good distance in order to avoid distortion?

I have followed up on a number of your threads and from your explanations I better understand what I should look for in order to have a good reference photo (proper lighting, backdrop to complement the sitter, reflective light if needed for the shadows etc).

If you can think of anything else that is a must to understand please let me know.

Mike thank you for your time.

Sincere regards,
Mischa

P.S. If anyone else has any experience please, your advice is welcome.
