Best full frame Nikon lenses for full body photography? - 1

28-70 f/2.8 - this is their pro-level wide-angle zoom that most pros use for full-body shots. It's a great performing lens and has a lot of versatility which will increase the speed of your workflow. Time is money, so workflow should be a top priority.

But, there are plenty that would decide to use a 70-200 f/2.8 and back up, or use a 35mm prime, or an 85mm prime. There's no one right answer. It depends upon your style and what you want to say with the image. Plus there are logistical variable to think about. Where are you shooting? Outside where you can back up, or in a camped office converted into a studio?

There's NO "best" lens.

We use the following lenses on our full frame Nikon cameras

* 85 mm f/1.4
* 24-70 mm f/2.8
* 60 mm f/2.8 macro

Each scene and subject will require different lenses and only the photographer can decide which those are.

NOTE: It is important that the photographer and model can communicate without needing to shout at one another, so lenses longer than 85 mm may not be practical, although they will do the job

50mm
