I think the 90/2 is a wonderful portrait lens --- partially because the
extra stop gives you more control over the bokeh. I do challenge the
statement that the 90/2 is not as sharp as the Tokina. At the same fstop, I
believe they are remarkably similar.
I like both lenses, but the 90/2's bokeh is so good that it was my keeper.
