Is a 50mm lens good for taking portraits?

Hi erwinx, your photos in photo.net are super and I also notice you're using Minolta.

No, Red Dawn, you are right. As Ninelives has already indicated, perspective is actually indendent of FL, it depends on the distance from your subject.

Ruey Loon is mistaken.

Sorry, I said in my original posting, take a look at this CHAPS photos.... i.e. not me. I can't show my portraits online. My subjects will kill me.
