Best lens for Nikon D60 portrait photography...?
I have heard that zoom lenses are best for portraits...but what about wide angle lens? Are those strictly for landscapes? Furthermore, what zoom lens is best for my portraits for a good price? I'm more interested in like 3rd party brands like Sigma etc since Nikon lenses are so expensive, but if you have a reasonable price on a Nikon then lemme know please
K thanks!
Oh yea...has anyone ever used any of those wide angle adapter lenses off Ebay and such websites? How where they for you? If you haven't used them or owned one then don't bother answering please
The best and indeed cheapest solution for a portrait lens would be the 50mm f/1.8. Nikon has an AF_S version now I believe that would auto focus with your D60, or get the older copy and focus manually. On a crop sensor, the 50mm will act like 75mm short tele, and the wide aperture can deliver wonderfully shallow DOF for nice blurry backgrounds. The f/1.8 will be good for low light as well.
About the WA adaptor, they are pretty much low quality junk meant to separate new photographers from their money. Good for fun shots where the quality is not important. Not good for any sort of serious work. I have an older Nikon P&S that had one included. Fun. Junk. Simple. Real fish eye lenses are expensive. WA lenses are expensive. Tokina might be the best bet for a budget WA, the 10-17 for about $580 at B&H.
*EDIT*
Here is a question you might be interested in, since you seem to have trouble believing that a fisheye adaptor is anything but a piece of junk:

This guy doesn't seem too happy with his Opteka fisheye adaptor.
