Which lens is perfect for dx formet nikon d7000? 85mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.4?
Added (1). i want to shoot portraits with some wide background.
What subjects are you planing to shoot?
The 50 mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 is an excellent lens for shooting portraits using the D7000
The 85 mm f/1.8 is an excellent portrait lens if you had a Nikon D600, D700, D3 or D4 full frame camera
My guess is you picked those lenses because the cost about the same.
Here is a link that will help you decide which lenses to add to your Nikon system using a D7000 camera
I have both those lenses. I use them on a D300.
They are both excellent for portraits. Which one you choose depends on how you want to frame your subject & how much 'backup' room you have.
The 50mm will allow you to shoot portraits with some background at closer distances compared to the 85mm.

I have these very same two lenses for my D7100. You just can't beat the 85mm lens for portraiture - even if you have to backup slightly. The 50mm lens though works better for full body shots.
For a crop camera, way too much emphasis is put on crop factors and using a 50mm lens in my view, which ignores the advantages of using an 85mm lens. The need to compensate for the crop factor of your camera should not outweigh the need to use the best lens.
The 85mm was specifically designed for portraiture and has basically no distortion at all.
If you are doing portraiture, you will eventually want both.
Why the 50mm f1.4 and not the 50mm f1.8? I bet you can't tell the difference between the image quality of the two, particularly on a DX camera, and the 1/2 stop difference is unlikely to make any difference to portraits. Save some cash and get the 50mm f1.8 lens. The old AF-D lens is dead cheap and will work properly on a D7000. Use the rest for some lighting.
