Hi, no offense, but why do you need another portrait lens? The 85 and 50 should be more than adequate for any portraiture you need to do. Wouldn't it be better to spend $500 on more lighting and/or a different type of lens (ultra wide angle or telephoto)? |

I would say the 50/85 are good enough for portraiture, looking at your line up I would say you should grab the 18-200 VR that is for sale right here on DPC, you would get it shipped for $500 and it would be a great asset to your arsenal.
The link to the lens for sale here
