I intend to take pictures of my kids (ages 3, 7 and 10) but want to include environment that is slightly blurred - basically what you did with the photo of couple. I'd like to preserve memory of our day trips/holidays with kids photos in beautiful locations.

Problem with 85mm focal lens is that 1,2L is out of my price range and 1.8 doesn't really come close to 135 2L in terms of colour, contrast, sharpness and build. I thought about Sigma ART but that is only few 100s cheaper might as well pony up for 1.2L instead.

How is 100 Macro 2.8L for outdoor portraits?

Pretty decent, IMO. AF isn't in the same league as the 135L, but it's faster than the 85LII.
