Scott, If you already have a 135 then the 85/2 would be a good choice.
The 135 lets you get back a ways out of the subject's face and might be
less intimidating but to my eye is a bit too long and imparts a flat
look, kinda like the people are cardboard cut outs. (This is an extreme
analogy and not as bad as I make it sound) The 85 however has a more 3
dimensional look and the bokeh is smooth. It is especially useful for
two or more subjects. It has the added benefit of making a great macro
when coupled with a 14mm auto tube.
