Re: Portrait lens advice

Have you thought about selling the 85mm 1.8 and buying the 85mm 1.2. I think is a bit more useful than the 135mm. The 85mm 1.2 gives a beautiful bokeh. Just a thought. The 100mmL  IS Macro is a great lens too. It's not got as much booked, but the IS is useful and you get a macro. For me I do 75% of my shots on those two lenses. The 100 for headshot with strobes and the 85 mm for the same thing but when I want DOF isolation.
