And luckily, lenses do not have to be very fast in focussing for portraits.

That's your personal opinion. Focusing can be important, even for portrait, especially if you are taking photos of children, snapshots, around the house. Macro lenses are far slower to focus.
>Seems like win-win situation for both types.
in your opinion, not mine
>Which the Sony does not qualify for.
85mm F2.8 has closer min. focus distance than both Canikon 85mm F1.8 (that are 0.85m). Sony F2.8 is 0.60m, which is superior than both. It's enough for everyday flower shots that most people will use.
So it's twice cheaper, twice smaller, with shorter min focus. Thanks for brining that point. This is another area that twice cheaper lens is superior.
DOF is shallow enough for 85mm lens at F2.8. Most people with be more than happy with it.
