If I'm in an area with enough space, my 70-200 f/2.8 VR is my favorite. If I'm indoors and have enough space to move about, I'll use either my 105 Nikkor f/2.8 macro, or my 28-70 f/2.8 Nikkor. They all have nice bokeh for blurring the background and are very sharp. If I'm shooting in lower light, I'll use my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8.

Guess the answer is, most of my lenses :-)

When I had my Nikon F3's, my favorite lens for portraits was the 105 f1.8

Sadly, this lens is not available in an AF version.

I'll trade morgan my 105 Macro for his 105mm f/2.0 DC :-D

In all seriousness, my post was to show that there are a lot of lenses that will take good portraits. It's up to the situation as to which lens is best, in my opinion anyway.
