If you're going for headshots - there is no better portrait lens than 135/2.

Full body, I'd go for the one FL you are most comfy with: either 85/1.8 or 100/2. Both are great.

Take a look at flickr and just type the name of the lens in the slot for "search this group's pool" to get pics taken with corresponding lens. All taken with the 6D.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Searching the Flickr galleries for photos taken with these lenses is yielding a ton of very good samples.

So far it's pushing me in the direction of the 100mm f/2.0
