IMHO 75 mm is not the best portraiture focal. your 85 is almost 130 which is more appropriate for "classic" portraiture. For environmental portraits, even the 35 is more than enough. do not forget the lights - for a dedicated portraiture shooter you will need more that one + triggers.

i made the same choice (on FF) by buying the 85 and the 28. Now i am thinking if the 50 is any use or i have to put it on sale. Time will decide.
