looking for opinion as i have tried various over the years but still cant decide

Opinion Welcome

I'd go 50 1.4 AF-S G and (if you can find one) 85 1.4 AF-D

The sigmas have a good rep if you get a decent one too

85mm f/1.8 - cheap, fast, bulletproof, amazing optics

I guess your budget would help - the 50/1.4 and 85/1.4 are going to be the thick end of £1700, where the 1.8 variants you could probably get for £400 new, less on the S/H market.
