Is the ttartisan 35mm f 0 95 good for portraits?

Yes, with a caveat. On APS-C it frames like about 52mm on full frame, and its f/0.9 gives the depth of field of about f/1.4, so you get plenty of background separation. That suits environmental portraits, where the setting matters, and small groups. It's less ideal for tight headshots. For those, the portraits guide points to longer lenses, since standing further back flatters faces more.

Be ready to focus by hand, because this lens has no autofocus and no stabilisation. If you shoot moving subjects or want an easy first portrait lens, the guide's 50mm f/1.8 is the one I'd buy first.
