What portrait lens for S5 pro?
1

Hi all,

I'm really tempted to get an S5 pro (again). It will be used only for portrait, inside and outside, with or without strobes.

And now I'm wondering what lens I should get with it.

Considering that
1) I can deal with both 50mm and 85mm focal lenght (Ideal would be inbetween...)
2) I like a fast, silent AF (so AF-S)
3) I don't mind if it's native DX or FX (I don't plan on upgrade to FX)
4) I like fast lenses but more for low light than shallow DOF

Now, the S5 has a relatively low pixel count (according to today's standards) with a strong AA filter, so I think it would be a waste to spend money in a super sharp high end lens like the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, am I right or wrong?
Would you say that a simple 50mm 1.8 G is enough? (ie. I won't get more details with a more expensive lens)
I like pretty much the Nikkor 85mm 1.8 G, what do you think about putting one on a S5?

Thank you

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro
