this lens is surely tempting, but for my needs its f1.8 sister is enough, did you own this lens ? does it outperform the 100 macro ??

I couldn't convince myself to invest in the 85L ... I rather use the 85/1.8 + the 135L (but that is on fullframe).
But it is really tempting...I rented a 85L twice and always found it hard to return it to the shop.
But you ask for better bokeh ... the 85L is not likely to outperform a 100macro (regardles which) in
terms of image sharpness over the frame, but it will produce a nicer bokeh and blur in the conditions
you asked for (distances over 2 meters)
