I agree with Adam.

50mm is significantly different field of view from 35mm. For full body environmental portraits, 35mm is okay. But if you take "face only" style portraits, the DA 50mm should be much better. It will give you significantly more background blur. Also, if yous use 35mm lens for closeup portraits, they will appear to have a more big, round face than with a 50mm lens. Basically, while the DA 35mm is a great lens and can be acceptable for portraits, the DA 50mm is more suited for portraiture in pretty much every respect. Of course, DA* 55mm f1.4 would be even better, but it has a much higher price tag.
You can find the DA 50mm for really low prices these days. As in, it is cheaper than many decades old portrait lenses.
