Which Bokeh is better Nikon 50mm 1.4g VS Nikon 85mm 1.4d?

About to purchase my very first nikon lens, I've used off brand ones before was wondering which one of those have a better bokeh (it they do) I'm leaning more towards the 50mm because its cheaper, But i want to be able to shoot big.

I'm a amateur photographer, and do mostly portraits of children, Please tell me which do you think i should use Just curios on opinions from those who already have these lenses, or tried them I rented the 50mm 1.4 G, it arrives today.

Are you asking about…

A. The quality, smoothness and shape of the OOF highlights?
B. Or simply which one will provide the "most" blur and shallowest depth of field?

A I can't answer but B would be the 85mm of course (the diaphragm would be about %60 larger at f/1.4 providing a shallower depth of felid)

I don't have either lens, but the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 will give you better bokeh.

A wider angle lens give you more depth of field, by it's nature, while a longer telephoto lens will give you shallower depth of field. This shallow depth of field is what portrait photographers strive for.

Here's some examples for you.

To be frank, both will give you excellent results.

You might try scanning through Flickr and do a search for the particular lenses you're interested in. You'll be able to judge the boke for yourself. The AF-S models of both lenses have 9 bladed curved apertures, so I would expect the boke to be similar.

You don't say which body you have (DX or FX). You may find the 85mm too long for a DX sensor size due to the 1.5x crop factor. If you have a lens that covers 85mm, see how you like shooting at 85mm.

The 85mm f1.4 is renowned for the particularly 'creamy' quality of its bokeh. However, if you are shooting indoors, you'll have to back up more than with the 50mm. It depends on how much space you have…

The long focal, and the wide apreture play a nice part on bokeh!
