Why don't folks realize that you need soft edges and sharp centre for a portrait lens when it's wide open, that's the character you need in a good portrait lens!

Well, it's only a portrait lens on APS-C.

Exactly. This is not meant to be a portrait lens in the first place. It's a normal lens for full frame. If you want a portrait lens for APS-C, Pentax offers the DA 55mm f/1,4 which probably performs better than the old FA 50mm f/1.4.
