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

I think you are nuts. The only significant differences are the wider aperture, the quality of the class and the focal element allowing for Macro.

Wide open the 45 and the 85 with have a more narrow focal plan and greater focal fall off/bokeh but beyond that there is not significant difference in "Contrasty" images. That is something that comes from the light.

You can achieve great results with any lens all you have to do is use the lens well. For me the Focal distance the of the 60mm is much better than that of the 45mm... For the way I shoot I don't need the extra aperture.
