I sold my 100/2.8 after getting an 85/2. I find it a much more pleasing
portrait lens, brighter, with nicer bokeh, especially at f/2. I carry a
135/2.8 to pair with the 85 as a nice, two-long-lens kit.

Subject: [OM] 85/2 subject matter
Inquiring minds want to know...
Is the 85/2 substantially different from my 100/2.8? Should I
just keep my nose in my own camera bag and leave it to the
"ain't missed what I never had" category?
I love the Bokeh (I know, it only exists in our minds) and
sharpness of the 100/2.8 and am thinking, based on my limited
exposure to the 85/2, that it is just a slightly wider version
of what I already own.
Would my 100/2.8 be threatened by the presence of the 85/2?
Would it require that the lens go on Pros*c because of the
depression of being replaced?
Why was the 85/2 twice as expensive as the 100/2.8 back in 1978?
Will it automatically clean up the table after dinner?
