Best portrait lens for the sigma fp?

For portraits on the Sigma fp, I'd start with an 85mm. The fp is full frame, so lenses frame exactly as marked, and an 85mm gives that flattering, classic portrait perspective. My pick is the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art. It gives soft, creamy backgrounds without the cost of the faster f/1.2.

If you want the fastest option, the Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art is there, but it's a bigger commitment. For a lighter setup that suits the fp's small body, the Panasonic Lumix S 85mm f/1.8 is a sensible choice. If you'd rather include more of the scene, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art works well for environmental portraits.

Whichever you choose, light will do more for your portraits than the lens. Have a read of light beats gear and the portraits guide.
