The 85/2 is great for portraits, but consider also the 100mm f2.8. It's got
very smooth Bokeh; very close to that of the also excellent 85, and its
sharper than the 85 and costs a LOT less. The 85 typically still sells for
around $300 on ebay, while the 100 f2.8 goes for less than $100 usually.
There is also a 100mm f2, but its a collectable selling at silly prices and
its a very large heavy lens.
