Between the two you mentioned, I would choose the 70-200mm simply because portraits (the classic head and shoulders type) typically is shot with 85mm-105mm on FX. There is more versatility with a zoom than a prime although primes do have their advantages, too. If you are leaning towards a prime, then I'd suggest looking at either an 85mm (comes in f/1.4 or f/1.8) or a 105mm (comes in f/2 or f/2.8). A 135mm lens would require you stand back even further so you'd need to allow for more distance between you and your subject.</p></blockquote><p></p>
