I made a small comparo for what it looks like at MFD for some portraits lenses on full frame and with crop

So if you want something close to a 50mm lens on crop sensors for full frame 85mm isn't exactly the same especially at close focus distances
(I took care of not using that odd word that always opens a can of worms)

Your "isn't exactly the same" comment is so vague and open-ended that it is a whole supermarket full of cans of worms, actually.

In this case particular vague is good !!

Now you can go on, rent some of them and compare the results. For yourself... For the pictures toni-A posted a smartphone will do as well.

Well I was just notifying him that things other than DOF would differ between APS-C and full frame and almost all 85mm primes have MFD around 85cm, which at least for me isn't enough
