Shallow depth of field, subject isolation, all those are interesting in portraits but how muchof it do we really need ?
when using my 50f1.4 I rarely use it at f1.4 why ? DOF is too shallow, I want the whole face i focus, with my 100mm macro on full frame, I never felt I needed more DOF, for some shots it is good to have a lot of blur but not for all of them.
it is worth carrying the extra weight and often using ND filters for that extra blurr ? I am in the middle of a decision of getting an ultra fast portrait lens, so help me decide before I end up with a dust collecting expensive item
