What, me personally? For a 75/1.4 to go on my 35mm? As much as I paid

YMMV :-)
I don't really see myself planning on using my A 50/1.4 as a dedicated
portrait lens (at an effective 75/1.4) on my DS. 75mm is for me also a wee
bit to wide for the kinds of portraits that I usually take. (However, this
is not to say that I won't use the lens on the DS - it's just that I am not
used to thinking of portraits (YMMV) at 75mm.
Actually, because of the DS's crop factor, I now have a "new" set of
portrait lenses - an A* "127.5"/1.4, a K "202.5"/2.5, a Tokina AT-X
"90-180"/2.8, etc. The crop factor is not really that big of a problem -
it just requires a bit of a shift in thinking, but the same basic rules
(for me) apply - a short portrait lens is for use in tight quarters, while
a longer portrait lens is for use in a larger room or outdoors.
