Which one will give me more intense background blur with sharp foreground subject?

2\$\begingroup\$ Which focal length suits your purpose? There's a lot of difference besides bokeh between a 35mm lens and a 55-200mm lens. \$\endgroup\$– Michael CFeb 18, 2016 at 16:36

1\$\begingroup\$ You might want to take a look at Which will produce a shallower depth of field: 50mm f/1.7 or 70-210mm f/4 too \$\endgroup\$– OlivierFeb 18, 2016 at 16:59

35mm probably isn't well suited for Portraits as it's really wide. The DOF is nice, but I would stick with 50mm or longer for them. If you want to shoot more than 50% of the body though, 35mm would work fine.
