I use a 85mm f1.4 Zeiss Planar lens for my Canon 1D Mark camera. Manual focus. Works real well. The photographer is questionable!
I use several lenses for portraits, currently most are various Canon lenses, but a lensbaby is also an interesting choice. I really enjoy primes for their unique characteristics - the old, but wonderful, 135 2.8 with soft focus, the old 50 1.4, and the old 85 1.8. Lots of wonderful stuff in the used market - so don't count those out.
