Novice photographer, planning to buy Pentax KX camera, please give some advice ~! Besides, I prefer portraits and scenery. How to choose a lens ~!

It depends on how much you want to spend. How to spend more money with more money; Spend less money with less money; Or rich, but patient and time-consuming, want to enjoy photography slowly and use the lens slowly.

KX is actually a digital SLR close to the mid-range, with excellent cost performance. Note: only cost-effective! Everyone's needs are different, and cost performance is not always the most important consideration. I have KX, and I am very satisfied with it. First, I bought a big double set, which covered all the focus parts. Then consider other shots.

The following are my views on the use of lenses in portrait landscapes:

1, people who have a lot of money, want to do it in one step, and are not interested in the lens itself:

Just pick the expensive one according to the focal length. The landscape has a focal length of 10 ~ 35mm, and the portrait has a focal length of 35 ~ 100. If you want picture quality, buy a full fixed-focus lens; For convenience, buy the most expensive zoom lens. However, I think zoom lens can be used for scenery, but it is better for people to use fixed-focus lens.

2. Less money but time and patience. It is suggested to shoot the scenery with 18-55 first, and then add a 50mm manual focusing head. Actually, M50/ 1.7 is very good, around 500 yuan, and the imaging is very good. It's just a manual pan/tilt. It must be slow. It is absolutely impossible to film children. If you really like portraits, I'm afraid you can only vomit blood and buy a FA50/1.4 (about 2400 yuan). As for taking portraits with a zoom lens, I don't support it. I don't think it's a real portrait, just a necessity.

3. Have money, time and patience. That would be great. I suggest you play slowly.

First, shoot the scenery with 18-55 lens. After the technology and taste are improved, change it to 16-45 (if you can't see the difference between the two photos, 18-55 is enough). After improvement, we can consider changing some wide-angle fixed-focus lenses.

For portraits, use M50/ 1.7 first, and the imaging is similar to FA50/ 1.4. However, if manual operation is too troublesome, it is also good to use FA50/ 1.4 directly. 50 focal length is too short, with DA70/2.4, the imaging is also very good. In addition, it is very good to shoot portraits with Budweiser (100mm fixed-focus macro lens)-the definition is so high, so be careful when shooting girls. Please grind the skin before showing the photos to the girls, or you will be beaten. As for yincui gorge, it is very famous. I haven't used it, and I can't give any specific advice. But in the digital age, they don't have much advantage in taking portraits, and they are not suitable for taking scenery on the focus stage.
