Portrait shots with a macro lens ?

[Zerstorer]

Meaning if he want to take portarit with a DSLR, he will have to stand further away from what a full frame SLR users would be.

....which means the perspective will change.

thanks for the reply.
you guys went on and on

Well on xmas i was going for the 70-200 F2.8 HSM Sigma
i guess i can take nice portraitrs too with this one

so conclusion for now
a Tamron 90mm DI or nikkor micro 105mm would be good for both macro and portait ( nobody is recommending the sigma )

Actually, I am using a Sigma 105mm sometime to take portriat too, but it seems like I might be having a very good copy as my bokeh isn't as bad as what others had perceived. But if you have the means to get a Nikkor 105mm, I don't see the reason why you should not go for it .... I for one will go for the Minolta 100mm Macro lens if I have the money for that minor extra mile of quality (not to say Sigma is no good, but the extra mile will be better) by Minolta, Since I am using a Minolta body primarily.

i am just checking reviews. in general people seems to like or rate
the tamron as #1 then nikon then sigma. As color renderatin and image quality. It does have shorter working distance then the sigma but that also applies for insects and movign objects.
