Hi, Albert, and all,
If you like the results, it's a great lens. I have a Vivitar Series 1 90
f/2 Macro that I got in the late 70's. It is a truly magnificent lens. The
macro work it produces is 2nd to none in my opinion, and it makes gorgeous
portraits, too, with or without diffusion filters, etc. Stick withwhat YOU
like. Tokina lenses, in my experience, are great lenses, too.

Subject: [OM] Macro lens for portraits?
I have a Tokina 90mm macro, and I use it a lot for portrait work, as I
think it has great Bokeh..
My friend however says that macro lenses used as portrait lenses aren't
that great; BS or true?
If true, reasons why? Or just personal preference on his part?
Albert
