i've tried both on APSC camera....many ppl say 50mm is ideal for portrait as it's equivalent to about 80mm for FF....

but somehow, i always revert back to 35mm....

so my vote goes to 35mm....

maybe i prefer taking shots a bit nearer to my subject.... and when taking pics using 50mm....i need to stand further away.... just my preference....

I know 85mm is the best but due to budget constraints and I'm just taking picture casually, so which one is the best for potraits?

I'm considering between Sony 30mm and 50mm lenses

Try go Google about compression between different focal lengths...

Wider lens tend to make the background object appear far and small but if you use longer lens then background object appears nearer...

If you are going for bokeh background already then the details is secondary importance right?

I am not really pro in photography also btw... just a bit in and out ... more like personal hobby... so maybe need other pros to help comment more on details of the lens....

smile.gif good luck! But for me... i will go 35mm... if force to choose... u will appreciate it a lot if you are taking indoor pics....

Honestly i'm more on 50mm rather than 35mm
But i'm tear apart between both because most of the review i found on internet saying 35mm as it giving u more detail background compared to 50mm

But in term of bokeh, 50mm win it..

Personally how do u view both lenses in term of background coverage?

Compression is due to distance between camera and subject/background object not focal length.
that's the reason i often use my 70-200vr2 instead of 58mm to shoot portrait - i can stand farther  and make background more compress.. smile.gif
