Not even at the same apertures? I don't agree with you here.

You're right, I should have emphasised that "over the frame" more.
In the center and at the same apertures the 85L has an edge over the
macros, but not so in the corners and at the borders.
This is shown in Klaus's testreports as well ... albeit it has more
impact on a fullframe camera.
But I think maximum sharpness isn't toni-a's point ... and both
(the 85L and the 100macros) are "sufficient" in this point (even the 85/1.8 is)
... but the bokeh of shots with distances of 2 - 8meters ... it is hard to
derive from that what focal length he needs, but from the list of possible
lenses he provided, 85 seems to match. And if it does, the 85L is a good, but
costly choice.
