How come you use 85 1.8 and 100 f2. These are quite similar arent they?

They are almost like twins. Same AF speed, same CA fringing, same look and almost same size.

I've bought 100/2.0 because it was cheap. A little more than 200 euros and the guy had trouble selling it for anything more.

I do have 100/2.8L which is a nice lens but prefer 100/2.0 for intimate portraits.
