Best portrait lens for the fujifilm x e3?

For portraits on the Fujifilm X-E3, the lens matters more than the body, so I'd start with a fast prime in the 50 to 85mm range on full frame terms. On this APS-C camera that means about 33 to 35mm.

• Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR: frames like 50mm, a classic portrait view with a soft background at f/1.4.
• Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R: frames like 52mm, a little wider if you want more of the surroundings.
• Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR: frames like 75-210mm, for tighter headshots and a bit more distance from your subject.

Whichever you pick, light does more than glass. Read Portraits and its light beats gear section before you buy anything.
