I shot a series of portraits over the weekend whilst at a lunch time get-
together with friends using the SMC-P135f2.5 wide open. I could not have
obtained the perspective I did nor filled the frame with an 85mm lens. The
subjects were sitting on fold out chairs in a large circle so all I had to do was
move about the circle and shoot from behind, no one was inconvenienced
and I got some great unobtrusive portraits. So all I am saying is that none is
better, it all depends upon the instance in which you find you are shooting,
when you have plenty of space around a subject and you are looking for a
heads-and -shoulders shot the 85mm is great otherwise....
