Best focal length for portraits?

Hi everybody.

 

I'll confess upfront to not owning a Leica, but I do love fast glass, and my outfit is a kind of cousin to Leica. I shoot a Minolta XD-11 with a 58mm f1.2 and an 85mm f1.7, both chosen for their beautiful bokeh in portrait work. Which lens I reach for depends on the circumstances, but I love them both.

Thanks everybody for the advice....I can always count on this forum to get great responses. I have purchased a very nice 50 Summicron and plan on picking up a 35 lux ASPH very soon (if I can find a good used one, I think I'll need some luck). I think they will compliment each other well.....I will post my results in the future, so keep an eye out!
