What you want to do with it? How do you want to shot it? What do you want to get from it? Are you talking about the portraying of a face? Is any difference is making: to “do correct†a face, landscape or an ass of the monkey? I have no idea what you asking. Probably you are talking about what the salespeople who shot once during the Xmas labeled the “portrait†focus distance… I see…The Mamiya’s 127/4.5 for BR’s and the Hasselblad’s 100-120/5.6 were comfortable to work dally with, though they required closing the stop all the way down. The old huge Russian Helios 85/1.5 (properly rebuild and recalibrated only) was remarkable lens for 24x36 film that worked wonderfully with an opened hole, at the same range most of 50 mm Leica’s from 1936 to 1940 did very good job (for b&w film only). Among the “real lenses†the Rodenstock’s Sironars 150-250 and Schneider’s Symmars 150-300 mm kicked the asses.
Actually why the only 2-4x of the film diagonal? I got some very interesting “portrait†results with mirrored 500mm and with severely customized Flectogon 24 mm! (Probably the best lens I ever have seen)
…. the “portrait†lens… Its like the turntable for Mozart of the speaker cable for Bach…
