But 17-50 would give you freedom in choosing focal lenghts, and at the heat of a portraiture photoshoot, you might be tempted to go in and shoot at 17, which may make some parts of the face look distorted.
I personally shoot with a 17-55, but I'd rather stick to the 50mm f/1.4 for portrait shoots. The 85mm f/1.4D is reputably the best 85 you can get, beating out the older AiS lenses even. My suggestion is go for a 50mm f/1.8, which is the sharpest, cheapest lens, and supplement that with the 105mm f/2.5 AiS. Both should go for around a hundred bucks apiece. And put the 85mm f/1.4 on the backburner for now.
And oh, sticking to a particular focal length due to the magnification factor is stupid. A 58? That just negates any cost saving right there. Pick a widely available lens and stop being a retard.
