Thanks

Macros(for close ups)
Canon ef 100 f/2.8 - can double as a portrait lens(160mm field of view- so you need some space for portraits). But the longer the lens the greater working distance for macro.
Portraits:
50 1.4 (80mm field of view. Is the perfect portrait length, but no macro)
85 1.8 (136mm field of view, so outside portraits would probably be the only place for them).
You can also get extension tubes which can turn either of those lens into macro lens though.
