Goodmorning ,
i just got my first mf and i cant wait to get my hands on more .
So i m looking for a portrait lense that i will probably use both indoors and outdoors and in that case i believe an 85 mm would do the trick .
I also want a 28 or 35 fast lense to use at low light conditions and to practise my `framening` with a prime lense .
I` d like to spent about 200-250 euros .
If i still like the manual focus after a while i always can look for something better .
Thanks in advance and please excuse any mistakes i may have done .

Then I would suggest a Jupiter-9 90mm f/2 and a MIR-24N (or MIR-24M) 35mm f/2
The Jupiter should be found around 100 Eur and the Mir around 60-80 Eur _________________ Orio, Administrator

M42 most popular due compatible with almost any systems.
Your Canon can use lot of type of lenses, Nikon, Olympus OM etc.
So don't hunt M42 ones. _________________ -------------------------------

There are not many affordable 85mm lenses. I would go with a 55, 58, or 100mm (or both). 85's just end up being a bit more expensive.
55mm or 58mm makes a good half body portrait lens, and 100mm a good head and shoulders portrait lens. _________________ Canon 30D + some AF and MF lenses |

Tamron Adaptall 2 90mm. Very sharp at F4 on and acceptable at F2.5.
Helios 44-2 (58mm), or Pentacon 50mm (watch for oily iris), both good lenses and very cheap.
Meyer Lydith (30mm) it's not so fast but decent lens esp for the price (although these are rising). _________________ Casual attendance these days |

I'd also recommend a 50/55/58 mm lens for the portraits when used on an APS-C camera, on your Canon a 50mm makes a 80mm lens effectively
50mm lenses are many great performers that can be had very cheaply ( e.g. Helios 44-2 ) for portraits I always choose my 1.4/50 Takumar but it will cost you as much as the J-9
fast 28mm and 35mm great recommendations above, could include the Tamron Adaptall 2.5/28, Vivitar 1.9/35, Nikkor 2/35, Takumar 2/35 _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |

Portrait:
Nikkor 1.8/85 (if you can find one for this money)
Asahi Takumar 2.8/105 (if you can find one for this money)
or
Jupiter-9 2.0/85 (and accept the softness wide open)
28/35mm:
Asahi Takumar 3.5/35 (if you don't need a fast lens)
MIR-1b 2.8/37 (if you don't use a full frame cam)
Vivitar 2.0/28 (if you can find one, much worse at full frame, though)
Vivitar 2.5/28 or 2.8/28 (sometimes they go for very little money)
Or you invest some more bucks and buy a
Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35 (for about €150 to 200)! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
