Portrait Lenses
Capture flattering, professional-looking portraits with dedicated portrait lenses from Ted's Cameras. The right portrait lens delivers sharp eyes, gentle facial perspective and creamy out-of-focus backgrounds — the cinematic look every portrait photographer is chasing.
The classic portrait focal lengths
- 50mm — natural perspective, great for environmental portraits.
- 85mm — the classic portrait lens, flattering compression and lovely bokeh.
- 105-135mm — tight headshots with creamy backgrounds.
- 35mm — wider, more contextual portraits with a documentary feel.
What to look for in a portrait lens
Wide apertures (f/1.4, f/1.8, f/2) deliver beautiful background separation. Optical stabilisation helps in low light. Modern portrait lenses also include features like silent autofocus for video and weather sealing for outdoor work.
