Hi Paul, thank goodness someone

disagrees with me about something! :)

I see your points, and they are valid. Wasn't implying it's main purpose should be as a portrait lens, so I'll be more careful next time around with how I word "usage". I agree, the focal plane of the 50mm 1.7 is better suited for such :)

I think you mean to say if you were going to choose a lens for professional portraiture, you wouldn't choose the 50mm Mac rather the 50mm 1.7, is that correct?

Thanks for opening up your thoughts here!

Carl
