Recommend me a 50mm - 60mm portrait lens


@ocean2059 Good memory--owned it several times. Great lens.

@AndereObjektiv I loooove the ZM 50/1.5. Don't have a copy currently, but will get one again. Have posted many photos with it.

@bjhurley I shot to 50/1.5 Ai-s about a decade ago, enjoyed it but didn't love it. But, I have never shot the LTM 50/1.4--I should give that a try. Good rec Brad!

@ftllens I did shortly after launch! Not quite my cup of tea, but really neat for what it is

@olegkin Interesting--I would not have considered the 50/2 APO for portraits. Might not do wonders for skin and whatnot though...

@freaklikeme I was hoping you'd chime in with something unexpected. I had a really enjoyed a MD 50/2 about 10 years ago, but it was stolen. Funny though, I used it more as a landscape and urban lens, not portrait. At the current prices, maybe I'll grab it again. And never shot that 50/1.4 D--it will go on the list. Btw, I still have the Mino 100/2.8 Macro you recommended a couple years back. Great lens, dirt cheap. Ergo such as an MF lens, but worse things have happened to better people.

And I wait for reviews on all these 3rd party Leica rip-off Chinese lenses...and yet I am hopefully lol

@RustyRus Yes, just want to poke the hive mind and see what falls out. Hoping for a couple new lenses to try and put on my radar. I have been curious about the CM 5.8 1/4 for a bit on and off--we'll re-investigate. Thanks for the rec!

@highdesertmesa I have owned the older lenses, but never the LLL. Very curious about this. Thanks for bringing it up James!
