100mm Portrait Lens Showdown (What’s the Best Budget Portrait Lens) | Round Glass Review

This video pits the Canon 100mm f/2.8 S.S.C, Konica Hexanon AR 100mm f/2.8, Nikon Series E 100mm f/2.8, and TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Bubble Bokeh lenses against each other in a series of empirical test to see which one is the best option for portrait photographers. All of these lenses are great options and the differences between them are primarily aesthetic. In addition to this video, check the references for a link to all of the test photos in full resolution, including shots that were not in the video but that did contribute to the final rankings.
