Sigma Art 28-45MM F1.8 DG DN

92.3 Portrait Score
28-45mm f/1.8 Sony E-Mount, Sony E-Mount, Sony E-Mount, Sony E-Mount, Sony E-M Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Delivering prime-level sharpness with a constant f/1.8 aperture across its 28-45mm zoom range, this lens effectively replaces multiple fast primes in a single, weather-sealed body. Its 11-blade diaphragm and advanced coatings produce exceptionally smooth bokeh and flare resistance, rivaling dedicated portrait optics. This is best for portrait and wedding photographers who need rapid focal length flexibility without sacrificing the shallow depth of field or light gathering of an f/1.4 prime.

Sigma EX DG 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye

57.4 Portrait Score
15mm f/2.8 Canon EF
Why we recommend this

This 15mm f/2.8 diagonal fisheye delivers a 180-degree field of view with full-frame coverage and autofocus, capturing extreme distortion on Nikon F-mount bodies. Its 5.9-inch minimum focus distance and 1:3.8 magnification ratio enable dramatic, exaggerated close-ups that standard wides cannot match. It best suits creative portrait and macro shooters seeking deliberate distortion, but landscape work is strongly hindered by its 22.3/100 score.
