“I have a Nikon 3200: I'd like to take portrait shots of my high school senior, Is it worth getting a Nikon 50mm/f1.8G for recreational use if I already have a Nikon 18-55mm/f1.35-5.6G and Nikon 55-200mm/1.4-5.6? thank you.”

If you want good blurred backgrounds in your portraits, then this is your lens, not the standard (zoom) lenses.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you haven't done it already you will definitely like this lens for portraits. Just did a set of senior portraits and couldn't be happier with the results.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.100 percent yes.. the Nikon 50mm 1.8g is a far better lens than either of those with a lot better low light performance and better blurry background ( aka bokeh )
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 50mm is a much faster and sharper lens than the ones that you have.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm hoping you meant 18-55mm/f3.5-5.6G and 55-200mm/f4-5.6. 50mm f1.8 will make a huge difference in terms of depth of field, it's a great lens to start getting into photography and portraits especially. Highly recommend. General rule of thumb, primes lens are generally superior in quality than zooms lens.
