 Just to be a little different, give some thought to the 85/2. I've used=

I'd second Barry and point you towards the 85/2. While I have the 100mm
zuik's (prefering the 2.8, btw, other than the fact that it's amazingly
light and compact it's also really sharp), I very often go for the
85/2. In my not-so-humble opinion the perspective of that suits my
photo-style better - and I percieve it as a very sharp lens too. It has
the size of the 100/2.8 and the apeture of the 100/2.0 (and almost the
focal length too).
