A 60mm lens, at portrait type distances, with f/2.8 you'll be quite shallow enough DoF. I'll be surprised if you're not working at smaller apertures to increase the DoF if you want to get the whole face in focus.

Note to Alex: a 50mm lens is a 50mm lens, is a 50mm lens. The focal length of the lens does not change, regardless of which camera it is fitted onto.
