This lens isn't suitable for close portrait due quite significant distortion?

Thank you much appreciated. a flash on beauty dish close to model created harsh light, for pp a lot of dodge and burn used on top of that.

I'm not aware of distortion issues close up... although there would be slightly more distortion with a FF body versus a crop sensor...

distortion would be amplified on a face shot versus upper body

there would be more distortion using the 40mm...

learn the limitations of a focal length and work with it ;)

Is 50mm f/1.4 far better than this lens? I wonder whether I should pay more than 250 USD to upgrade from 50mm f/1.8 II to a 50mm f/1.4 or not

the 50 1.4 has better build... but is considered 'soft' at f/1.4.... for that reason I have not pursued the 50 1.4

I'm happy with my 50 1.8 and many rumours point to a new 50mm Image Stabilized version this year to be released... I hope so.
