Hello Carlos,
I have all the lenses you mention, and my usage patterns end up such
that the 135/3.5 lives much of a shelf life, while the rest get lot
of exercise.
My main reason is, that I like the brighter viewfinder image of the
/2.8 and /2 much more than that of the 3.5 - and that the 135/3.5
seems a little less contrasty than I prefer.
Between the 100/2.8 and the 85/2, I probably use the 85 more than the
100 - I got the 85mm first, and have developed a preference for that
focal length.
The difference betweem the 100 and 85 is not really that significant,
and I think it would not make much sense to carry both. However
having both would allow you to argue that you need two seperate
kits....and thus justify another body, another wide angle, another
winder etc :)
