I just purchased a Nikon D80 and I love it but I want to find the best lens for portraits. I shoot a lot of indoor portraits and hate flash so I need something that will be great for lowlight situations. I only shoot face shots. no full body or waist up shots.
Also, I have read that when shopping for lenses for DSLRs you have to do some calculations. Here is what I read about it from KenRockwell.com can someone please help with this?
"Digital SLRs have a sensor only 67% as big as film, so any lens used on digital gives a smaller field of view similar to a lens of 1.5 times the focal length. Take the focal length you use on your film camera and divide by 1.5 to get the focal length you need on a digital camera for the same effect. For instance, a 28 - 105 mm lens is about perfect on a film camera, which means for a digital camera you want an 18 - 70 mm lens"
