		| | 50mm 1.8 most photog's either Nikon or Canon say this is a must have lens I agree. It sells for around $100 USD new 85mm 1.8
 Another Must have and a fantastic portrait lens. It sells for around $379 USD new.
 
 Then there are the zooms like the 70-200 2.8 VR or the less expensive 80-200 2.8
 
 Good Luck!

		| | Wazz, is correct, you definitely want a good 50mm prime in your stable for portraits with a dSLR.
