What is your favorite portrait focal length I'm asking since Nikon, Sigma and Viltrox over the last year all upped their game in 135mm which is a focal length that has been a little bit asleep since almost the analog film days. And very recently the Sigma Art 135 f1.4. I personally am pretty 50mm pilled. And if you ever meet me in person this is like my favorite topic. Please only vote "other" if you *really* use something other. A Canon EF 55mm counts in the 50 category, A Fuji GF80 counts in the 85 category imo
