60mm:thumbsup: cos from my experience even if food that lay on a large round plate/etc 1-2 step back is needed( compare the point to average range/size plates/etc used). Hope you can understand what I'm saying
Have you considered Voigtlander 125mm/f2 Macro? nice macro and portrait lens, pay a little more get 2 in 1 (macro and portraiture lens). $920 is not too bad a price.
