Greetz, Folks, Ne1 know the advantages or disadvantages of choosing the 85mm 1.8 or the 100m 2.0 other than price. I would like to purchase one or the other today to use as a portrait lens, mostly for persons of color, with Negroid features. I am trying to build a small portable studio and this is an important choice for me although I haven't any experience with either lens. Your advice and or insight is gratefully appreciated, TIA, peace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- I have the 85mm F1.8. It is a gem and a great optic for portraits. It may be too sharp though. I have found that the best solution for something like this is to use a 70-200mm zoom. I use the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 HSM and find most portraits taken at F4 to F5.6 to be very sharp. Its larger but the zoom also allows you to frame the subject much easier.
