I have a Sigma 60mm f2.8 DN Art in E-mount for my a6000. Verrrrry sharp lens. I definitely like this focal length for portraits. I find 50mm uncomfortably close to my subject for classic head and shoulders shots. I could certainly get along just as well with 70mm though.

I would highly recommend a DA 55 *. Awesome lens, great optics, good for low light. I am surprised by how much time it spends on my KP or K3II. Currently it is on the KP and the 20-40 is in the bag.
