Which is all rather amusing when you consider the more serious photographers
used an 85mm lens and a 35mm lens combination far more often than anything

portraits than a 50mm one at least, even if not by much. A fast 50mm is a
much better lens now on a non FF sensor DSLR however IMO.

A 58mm is great on a 1.5X DSLR for portraits :-)

But does it behave the same way as say an 85mm on a FF for the same
subject matter?

Why shouldn't it? The only issue might be the different DOF.
