Best portrait lenses for the Sony ZV-E10 II
78 portrait lenses that fit the Sony ZV-E10 II (Sony E mount) — flattering compression and subject separation — the classic portrait focal lengths. Sorted brightest-aperture first; every spec from the manufacturer's catalog.
Start with the Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF. At f/0.95 it is the brightest of the 78 portrait Sony E lenses that fit the Sony ZV-E10 II — the full comparison is below.
It is manual focus — no autofocus on the Sony ZV-E10 II. If you want autofocus for portrait, the brightest AF option here is Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 PRO at f/1.2. It is a full-frame lens. It fits and shoots at full resolution, and the glass often carries over if you move to a full-frame body later — but for the same framing it is larger, heavier and dearer than a lens built for this sensor. The brightest APS-C option here is Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 PRO at f/1.2.

Stabilisation uses a marker in the manufacturer model name; no marker is not a negative claim. Price filters use a current price when available.
One limit of this table: it lists only Sony E lenses that mount natively on the Sony ZV-E10 II — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Sony ZV-E10 II
The Sony ZV-E10 II has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That matters for portraits: an 85mm frames like 128mm on the Sony ZV-E10 II, which is tight for head-and-shoulders in a small room. A 50mm gives you the classic 75mm portrait look instead.
