maybe weighing in late, but another reason for a longer focal length lens for portraits is less distortion. A 135 is also a nice portrait lens.

The ideal (in my opinion) beginner's phalanx of lenses would be a 35mm, roughly equivalent to our field of vision when scanning a scene, a 70 to 135 zoom which somewhat replicates what we see when we focus on things that are distant. This has to do more with what we edit out in our brains and not what our eyes actually see:
Normal lens

I have a 15-55mm lens as my "regular" lens. I don't do many portraits. I've been doing mostly nature photos and food

Here are some photos I took of the storm and clouds that came through NC today. I had a total of 16, but managed to narrow it down to 3 of my favorites.

They look like after clouds, after the storm when it's moving on.
Matters not where you post 'em, we'll find 'em.

Yep, they were after clouds. I couldn't get any during because I don't have a protector for my camera.

Usually not before either, as that kind of storm usually builds up instead of a defined front. Like seeing a skunk, it gets bigger and bigger then all hell breaks loose and you can't see shit until the tail is moving on.

It was a tornado, hail, and high wind laced storm that cut across multiple states. It was ugly, but I didn't get too bad. It was more sudden, so I think I would have been able to get some pics. I think I have some of the sky dark on one side, but clouds like these on the other
