Some macro lenses are used for portrait shots because of their suitable focal length (e.g. 60mm on APS-C or ~100mm on FF) or overall sharpness. They're fast but not as fast as a f/1.4 or 1.8 portrait lens. Bacground or foreground isolation is easier with decent portrait lenses. Besides, I personally find the high contrast and acquity of macro lenses not so suitable for portait photography.



OTOH, when it comes to landscape photograpy where this FL can be used for specific cases, I think they would be serving very well (maybe with some reservations for focus hunting, depending on the model). Same goes for the texture detail shots...
