Nothing “pops” like a Sonnar lens. (Though in the right circumstances, others can come close).

That said, both the 60 & 56 are wonderful portrait lenses, and I’ve seen many people who prefer both for portraits.

Personally, I think the 56 has better rendering & smoother micro contrast/transitions.
