Your opinion of this one vs the other 50mm lenses

On February 21st, 2008 Anonymous Guest says:

I love the 50mm range on my a100 and now a700, i often find myself using the 50 1.7 Minolta (Original) for portrait type stuff and have been dying to get a new 50mm toying between the sony 1.4 and the macro. I already have and love an older version of the Tamron 90mm macro for 'real macro' work. So the question is, in your opinion, which of the 3 50mm lenses is best for portrait work? and are they good enough to bother replacing the 50 1.7 or should i just keep saving for the eventual 85 CZ and 70-200G?

Love the site and thanx for the reviews! It surely is not helping the lens lust in my world.
