85mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor lens or should i get

50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor lens?

I shoot alot of sports and i already have a 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor

But i want this lens for portraits so which one would you recommend?

I have them both, and they're great lenses. I'd say get both. :)

Are you using film or digital? If digital, an 85 has a pretty long working distance but the perspective is a little more natural looking. If you shoot it at about f4 or wider, the out of focus areas are very smooth - the 50 isn't anywhere near as good in this regard.

For portraits I would go with the 85mm. It is a great lense and you won't be disappointed!
