Best portrait lens for the fujifilm x t20?

For portraits on the X-T20, I'd aim for something around 50mm equivalent, which means a 33mm lens on this APS-C body. My first pick is the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. It's fast and frames like a classic 50mm.

If you want a little less tight framing, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary gives a 45mm equivalent view with the same kind of fast aperture.

For more reach and room to back off, the Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR covers 75-210mm equivalent. Its stabilisation also matters here, because the X-T20 body has none.

Whichever you choose, light will do more than the lens. Read Portraits for more, and remember that a window is often the best studio you have.
