Best portrait lens for the sony a7 iii?

For portraits on the a7 III, the lens matters more than the body, and this camera has plenty of good options. Here are three I'd look at:

• Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM: the fastest of the three, with a wide aperture for soft backgrounds and sharp faces.
• Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8: a longer reach that keeps you back from your subject.
• Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2: a compact f/2.8 telephoto zoom that's easier to carry all day.

Before you buy any of them, read portraits. Window light or open shade will do more for your pictures than any lens on this list.
