Wow! All these years and I didn't know the reason for mine! (bulbous tongue in hollow cheek)

Seriously, I'm glad you brought up the lens length issue. It makes a big difference! Portrait lenses for 35 mm cameras are normally slightly longer than 100 mm. That's twice the length of a "normal" lens (which is a compromise length) and 3 times as long as a moderate wide-angle lens. A longer lens decreases perspective distortion, which is why they are used in portraiture.
