Standard view lens for 1.6 crop
#5

The longer focal length will give you more blur and the shorter will keep more things in focus. The 1/3 stop difference is big in price but not in light transmission. A standard 50mm lens will give a pleasing perspective, equivalent to the old 80mm lens, for portraits.
Have you considered getting the sharpest lens and adding blur in Photoshop, as much of it as you can stand, then when you're fed up with that you'll still have a nice sharp lens. Or buy a cheap UV filter and degrade it with petroleum jelly. Alternatively panty hose/ stockings/tights with a hole in, stretched over your lens.
