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

Yes. The level of contrast is very important to the character or rendition of a lens. Bokeh is also part of the character, and I like to have the option for excellent bokeh. Different lenses also have different colour renditions, some cooler, some warmer. My newer Micro Nikkor 105 2.8 VR has a warmer rendition than my much older yet still very good 60 2.8 Micro Nikkor. If you look at the Nikon and Canon forums, you'll see dedicated lens forums where folks discuss the complex characters of lenses ad nauseam. But these discussions can be quite instructive.
