Unless you want a totally blown out background at that focal length the 60/2.4 is a very nice lens, especially if you were able to grab it with the most recent discount.

Personally I like much longer focal lengths like the 90/2 or 50-140/2.6 for heavy subject isolation shots where wider angles such as 35 or 60 I would want to incorporate the backgrounds into the shot.
