Seeking suggestions for a portrait lens

I use an 85mm Zeiss f1.4 for my Canon. You can purchase it for Nikon. Manual focus.

Wonderful lens!

The 75/1.4 and 50/1 for the Leica are significantly out of the OP's budget.

Yes, sadly the exotic Leica lenses are too expensive even if they can be resold with minimal loss.

Perhaps consider buying used.

I use KEH and they have been really good.
