Which lens to buy depends on your budget. If the budget is sufficient, the 50-135 is the best choice among zooms. It has a very good reputation for portrait shooting. ?50-200 is an ordinary kit, so it’s no problem to use it, but it’s still a bit unsatisfactory for portraits.

If you don’t have a big budget, you can indeed consider a large aperture long fixed focus like 135F2.5. Nowadays, there are more and more telephoto portraits, so a 135mm fixed focus with a full-frame focal length of 200mm is also good. At this focal length, there is a lot of room for choice with manual lenses, and there are many choices.

To take telephoto full-body portraits, I recommend you a book that can give you a lot of experience in this area. The author of this book also has another book "Music for Beautiful Portrait Photography"

"56 Scenes Filmed" is also worth your reference.
