If i had a thousand bucks lying around to spend on some new glass there would no problem making a choice: Without hesitation, it would be Canon's 135mm prime, f/2 L. Not only the ultimate portrait lens, but a damn good glamour lens as well.

If you're not shooting with a full-frame sensor, however, let me say that I also love my 85mm f/1.8 prime. The price tag on the L version is too steep for me and, frankly, I don't see all that much difference.
