Again I haven't used the 85, but I would say thats probably a good compromise with DX, neither too long to hand hold, nor too short to stop light getting in and to cause extreme perspective issues.

The trick with manual focus is to focus on the closest part of the subject, then move the focus point away slightly until the closest part is still acceptably sharp, that way more of the subject will be in focus, rather than the air in front of the subject.
