Well, I hope I've cleared up my reasons for being reluctant to pick that
lens for portraits...:)

You did, for your own idiosyncratic reasons. I chose to own a 3.5 instead of 
the usual 1.8 and that was my 50mm lens and standard for many years. It is 
still the 50mm of choice when I travel. I don't find the normal a hindrance 
for portraits, although it may not be the best choice, I have not 
particularly been hampered by it's speed. I recently acquired a used 1.4 and 
it is great...for my wife. I still like the 3.5. That's life. My other 
favorite is the 40 f2
BTW, I enjoy your posts. Happy holidays.
