Hi Ken:
These two lens are very good. Optical wise, I like 100 f2 a little bit more
because of its slightly warm feeling though they are both very sharp in all
f stops. In terms of price, 100 f2 is little bit more expensive than 85
f1.8 (Basically, you're trading off abit of f-stop and money for the extra
15mm) According to Lens Works, 100 f2 is more for men portrait whilst 85
f1.8 is more suitable for females (correct me if I'm wrong). bottomline:
You won't be wrong in getting either one! :)
Regards,
Gary
