Best portrait Lens? (Nikon or third party of Nikon F mount)?
I am a beginner but I know photography much. So lets say I am entry level pro.
I want to be a portrait photographer and need a lens that strongly blur my background but the quality of blurring (Bokeh) doesnt seems needed to me.
So advice me a lens (Nikon or third party of Nikon F mount) to go with under $500 to $600. It should provide a very shallow depth of field not depending on Bokeh. If you are advising manual focus like Samyang 85mm f/1.4, Will it be easy for my level(Entry Level Pro).
Depending on your advice, I will choose the camera between D7100 and D5200. If the lens will be worth $500 to $600 I will go for D5200 and If less than $400 or $350, I will go for a D7100.
Again I want to be a portrait photographer and need a lens that strongly blur my background but the quality of blurring (Bokeh) doesnt seems needed to me.

Samyang 85mm 1.4 is a good choice, but it can be troublesome if you dont want to learn and to like using manual lens, mostly with nikon camera. Easier if you use mirrorless camera.
Another option will be afs 85mm 1.8g. Good for portrait and price wise is ok.
If me, i would skip d5200 or d7100. D7100 is a good camera, it just the sensor not good enough in shadow area.
This toshiba made sensor when you lift the shadow, banding can be quite horrible, even on light area.
Either D5300 or D7200 if possible, even there are so many sources that said d7200 sensor still toshiba, other said sony, but it is much better than 7200 in the way of banding.
Easier to work when you edit it later.
