Couldn't resist that 85/2 silvernose on eBay, eh George. Congrats on a
good deal.

While I haven't had any experience using the 100s, some with the 135s,
and a lot more with the 85/2, I have to recommend the 85/2. While none
of the lenses would be a 'wrong' choice, I was always satisfied with
the results, the bokeh is magnificent, and, for the style of portrait
you describe - of family; I assume, in their homes and not a studio,
you will appreciate the ability to get closer with the 85. Unless you
can set up different backgrounds and change the seats around, we're
all limited to certain places in say, a living room where we can
successfully do a shoot due to seating location, windows - and their
reflections in the background -, width and length of the room, etc.
Again, just my $0.02 worth.
