Well you didn't list a 135mmm and standard portrait lens is more like
85mm
for 35.
that's an unusual take. I do not own nor many I know own an 85mm, it's
too short. However, 100-135mm amazingly covers the same angle as the
angle of concentration - 15 degrees-ish
90mm Summicron, 85mm Zuiko, now 85mm Nikkor (and 45mm Olympus for Micro
Four Thirds, 90mm-equivalent angle of view). And I never did like the
105mm Nikkor, it was too long.
In fact, I do hear the 85mm cited most often as the portrait length.
I've since gone on to liking that to longer -- out to say 135 or even 200.
