Best portrait lens for the fujifilm x t50?

For portraits, the lens matters more than the body, so the X-T50 is a good home for a few strong choices. The X-T50 frames about 1.5 times wider than a full-frame lens, so you want a focal length that lands around 75 to 85mm equivalent for classic headshots.

My top pick is the Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR. It covers 75 to 210mm equivalent and gives you real subject separation at f/2.8. If you'd rather a zoom from another maker, the Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS Contemporary covers 75 to 180mm equivalent at the same aperture.

For a prime, the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is about 50mm equivalent. It's wider than the telephoto zooms, so it suits environmental portraits. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a similar option.

Whichever you choose, read the portraits guide and its section on light beats gear. A window and a little care with your subject will do more than any lens. If you're still building a kit, your first lenses explains where a portrait lens fits.
