Re: Budget Portrait Photopraphy?

I agree with other posters.

In addition, you may want to shoot with just the 35mm for a while. It will become obvious very soon whether you will want a wider, or a longer lens next, or maybe a similar lens but with a wider aperture.

A different approach, if you want an extra lens, is a manual focus lens, either new or vintage. There's quite some new Chinese and Korean lenses in Fuji X-mount with a very pleasing character, and usually very affordable.

Enjoy, portraits are fun!
