Do I really need an 135mm f/2L for portraits?

Re: Do I really need an 135mm f/2L for portraits?

I also was wondering whether I need this lens, given it's rather old optical formula I descided to go for a 85mm f/1.4L IS instead and crop to (almost) 135mm f/2 and I am not disappointed by the results.

P.S. and of course this doesn't necessarily mean that I won't get one eventually, for GAS reasons.
