My 2 bits...
I shoot full frame Canon (1Ds).
Personal opinion: I'd get the 85mm f/1.2 L. Beautiful, beautiful lens. AU$2525 in Australia or US$1869/au$2136 from BHPhotovideo (was pricing it yesterday). I've been borrowing one for several months now but just had to give it back - and I miss it already!
I have the 70-200L f/4 L but much prefer the 85mm f/1.2 L for portraits. Great, fairly cheap 'L' zoom though if you want a lens in this range.
I've used the 50mm f/1.8 quite a bit for portraits - Canon's cheapest lens (I paid US$69) - for the price - a bargain!
I also use the C-Y Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 L with an adapter plate for EOS for portraits a bit - fun cos it's old-school manual focus, and it probably gives better results than the cheap Canon mentioned above.
The finalt lens that I've used for portraits is my 90mm Macro. Sharp, but I don't like it for this purpose.
So: Personally, I'd get the 85mm 1.2 L if you're feeling rich, or the 85mm 1.8 if you're not!
Cheers,
Rob
