I scooped the wontons to the top so that the photos look nicer..

can this lens be used for protrait?
By using the macro mode, can i stand nearer to the model?

Sure. You can shoot as close as 20 cm from the model. At that distance, you should be able to photograph their nose hair or black head.

Yes, this lens is very good for portraits as well. Because its 60mm, that means you don't have to stand too close to your model to take a close up shot. This usually makes the model more relaxed. By using the 'macro mode', it means you can focus from as close as 20cm, and you will be capturing very close details. Though if you're talking about portrait shots, you will not be probably be using the other setting, which sets focus starting from 40cm range.

I'm liking this lens more than the 45mm/1.8 , now I don't know if I am ever going to use the 45mm anymore...

Oops I forgot the 45mm is f1.8 ... that means I will probably still use it for indoor shoots.
The 45mm/f1.8 is also less than half the size of the 60mm/2.8 .
Both are equally sharp lenses, superb quality and not as expensive as most of the other premium lenses, I think its a good deal to get both...

The 45 1.8 is not macro though and does not have a close focusing distance.

Hardly ever now. I only use it for virtually no light situation. The iso is so good now that flash use is significantly reduced.

Reviews have shown that the 60mm can do portraits perfectly fine if you can accommodate the longer focal length.

Sure. You can shoot as close as 20 cm from the model. At that distance, you should be able to photograph their nose hair or black head.

HAHAHA!!!
