Re: Budget Portrait Photopraphy?

I like the results from both my 35/1.4 and 60/2.4 (the latter is a lovely lens if you don't mind slightly slower AF) but also agree with other posters that there's much good fun to be had with MF lenses.  The Samyang 50/1.2 is superb at the price, and of the legacy lenses I'd very highly recommend the old Pentax Super Takumar 55/1.8 (M42 mount).
