Julie,
based on my experiences in Louisville with the 135mm F2.0L, the 85 should be perfect for in-ring full body and moving shots indoors which is what I shoot primarily. I don't like doing headshots indoors under that type of lighting and at that high an ISO. If folks want headshots, I do them outside or somewhere I can bounce my flash for decent illumination.

No question that zooms spoil you when it comes to cropping. And the 70-200 F2.8 is an outstanding lens in its own right. But I compared the 85, 100 macro and 135 with my 70-200 F4L and the primes blow it away in terms of IQ. And that gives you more cropping room the same way more pixels do.

I'll share the shakedown images. Can't wait until tomorrow! And, yes, the look of the specular highlights is something I really want to check out. In the stuff I've shot, the creamy bokeh is very nice. But I want to see those dancing lights .
