hello every one and nice to be here....
i'm almost biggenr i buy nikon d90 and wanna ask about best lens for (indoor) portrait face+children
Giogogo, welcome to the Digital Grin.
Indoor portraiture may depend on the number of subjects as well as the size of the shooting area and the actual intended view of the subject(s).
Since you mention "face" I may assume you mean either a "head shot" or "head-and-shoulders".
If you have the room either of those shots looks nice shot with a slight/moderate telephoto lens. On a crop camera like the Nikon D90 that would probably be either a 50mm or 85mm lens. Those lenses allow enough distance to create a natural looking perspective of facial features.
For a small group of head-and-shoulders you might need to go a bit wider in focal length/angle-of-view.
For children you may need both faster shutter speeds and more depth of field, depending on the situation. In that situation I tend to use a normal/standard zoom like a 17-55mm (or so) lens and a moderate aperture. It may also be best to use an external flash used with a proper modifier to keep an appropriate shutter speed and allow a more natural appearance.
ziggy i would to thank u
and i wanna as about 18- 105 coz i'ts come with camera
also what kind of 50 mm 1.4 or 1.8?
thnx for ur respons
Use your zoom lens to confirm the focal length that you will need.
Either the Nikkor 50mm, f1.4G AF-S or Nikkor 50mm, f1.8D will do fine. Many folks think the f1.4G is better and it does have a slightly better bokeh if you can gain some distance from the subject to the background to allow it to blur.

u mean the 18-105?
i will follow your suggestion
and thanx again
if i get it i'll tell u:D
Set your zoom lens to 50mm and see if that focal length works for your application. 50mm on your zoom should be very similar in its field of view to a 50mm prime lens, even though it will have other properties that are different.
wanna ask about 85 1.8 ist better than 50mm 1.4
i'm asking for sharpen of face?
They are both very high quality optically. Neither is perfect wide open but both sharpen nicely in post.
It should be more about whether you have the distance for the either lens to get the view that you require or desire. You did say indoors correct? Have you checked the focal length yet using your zoom? You know I'm gonna pester you about this until you do check.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say anything in case he/she was from a different country and not too familiar with English.
I, as many others, originally and even currently, are from a "different country" - that's no excuse to butcher the language. By saying it's not OK to "speak" like this, is not only good for the community, but it's also good for the person in question ...
