Need a portrait lens. Reccomendations?

[Kegger]

I use an older 105 f/2.5 MF.

Thing is a damn tack, wouldn't give it up for any of the newer glass.

Wow. I'm not really into MF though.

I would jump on an 85 1.8.

Yeah, in the old film world, a 135mm was a great portrait lens for me. A digital 85mm (127.5mm) is about as close as you can get to that now.

Other than nifty 50, and maybe an 85mm 1.8 my wish is someday to have a full range of fast (2.8) Nikon zoom lenses.

...sigh.
