open ur IS, set shutter speed to 1/25~30, ISO 800, f2.8~3.5. Bump up ISO if ur subject is still blur.

What kind of portrait photo you like better? Full body or half body portrait? IF full body take 35mm, if half body take 50mm lens.

If your subject is posing behind sunset, no matter how much you up your iso also no use. This is one of a situation where flash helps.

Prefer fast lens. Previous experience with 55-200mm VR, it requires to hold the shutter for 2~3 seconds before VR can compensate and produce sharp image. Not so good for subject that move.

your current budget only allows you for 1st hand 3rd party flash or 2nd hand nikon/canon.

get a nice tripod for your nightscape.

it's a good paper weight

Better take m43 with fast apperture f1.8 ~ f2.8 since this is much easier to use than flash.

get 17-50mm f2.8

For indoor shoot, good flash unit is a must. If budget allows, consider a fast zoom lens like popular tamron 17-50mm f2.8. Normal kit lens is still do-able but might struggle a bit. For studio, you need to invest in more flash unit, softbox/umbrella, wireless commander to control the flash...

Reasons: 1) Lazy to change lens - imagine you are in event shooting, every seconds count. By the time you done with changing your lens, the model already changed various pose. 2) Multi functional - it's wide zoom lens (1mm wider than your normal zoom lens), constant fast aperture across zoom...

Natural disaster like flood/earthquake can be covered with insurance? Nikon earn/loss money is no business of mine.

Seriously I dunno what's Henry is talking about. Anyone mind to help translate it?

Are you using 35mm onto a FF body? That would be wide angle portrait already. FF should pair with 50mm lens where as DX pair with 35mm for your full body portrait photo.
