Brand doesn't affect good portraiture?

Brand implies choices of bodies, lenses and accessories. So why do portrait and wedding photographers prefer FF or MF bodies and f/1.2 or f/1.4 lenses? The choices of 50mm to 200mm lenses (FF portrait lenses) and their signatures are important factors for a portrait photographer.

Try shooting with a Hasselblad and a DSLR under the same lighting and see which one is better! Otherwise, just compare a Canon 5D2 with 85 f/1.2 against a Nikon D3 with 85 f/1.4.
