Sigma Art 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM 24-70mm

61.9 Portrait Score
24-70mm f/2.8 Sony FE
Why we recommend this

A constant f/2.8 aperture across the 24-70mm zoom range pairs with fast HLA autofocus and dust/splash-resistant construction. The aperture ring with click and lock switches and a 6.7-inch minimum focusing distance add tactile control and close-up flexibility. This lens suits event and portrait shooters who prioritize a weather-sealed, precise standard zoom over macro capability.

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

60 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.
