It depends on what you do.  There is nothing that the 85/2 does that the
90/2 can't do, except be lighter.

That said, I have all three.  The 90/2 gets the most use, followed by the
85/2 and the 100/2.8 sits on the shelf.  Why?  I use the 85/2 when I want
fast and light -- for example it is a great lens for kids basketball.  Would
the 90/2 work?  Yep, as would the 100/2, but the 85/2 is little and light.

Me, I like it.

OK, I'm contemplating an 85/2, but I already have a 90/2 and the 100/2.8.  I
know the 85/2 is lighter (by far) than the 90/2, but I'm looking for
opinions.  Is it worth the $150-200 for such a lens?  How is the performance
wide-open?
