Question
What is best Lens for portrait and wedding?
"I have a Nikon D70"

Answer
Interesting and beautiful sounding name, what's your nationality??

I, also, have a D-70 and there are different definitions of portrait and/or weddding portraits.  For weddings, I use my 24-120 almost exclusively unless I'm dealing with large groups or overall shots of the wedding venue, the I use my 12-24 ultra-wide.  Portraits can be anything from a headshot to a full length couple shot.  For any shot from about the chest up I'd use my 80-200, for a full length wedding couple portrait I'd go back to the 24-120.

Let me know what lenses you have, and I can give you a better idea of what to use.

I hope this helps...

Best,

Mark
