Re: Portraiture..45mm f1.8 or 60mm f2.8?

I agree with Andrea. While 60 is a great lens and it sits on my camera most of the time I don't really like to take portraits with it. It's too... I don't know how to name it Maybe contrasty and rough. And 85 is just great for portraits, it feels like it was definitely developed with portraits in mind. It's soft at sharp at the same time. It's sharpness just differs from 60's.
