Big fan of mine too. For some reason I just prefer 100mm to the seemingly more popular 85mm focal length, but in fairness I've never shot with the 85 f/1.2L. Regardless the 100 f/2 is certainly one of Canon's under-appreciated lenses.

Funny you say that, as I actually have the 100/2 and 85/1.8 right now and deciding which one to keep.  Got both used off a popular photo forum for cheap.  Both are darn good.

I'm kinda leaning toward the 85 at the moment, as I like it as a 135 equivalent on my 7D2.  The 100 is a bit long on the crop body for portraits.

But that opinion could certainly change the next time I shoot with the 100.  First world problems...
