Having owned three 85 F/1.8s, I'd suggest you try the 100 F/2, or if you don't mind spending a little (ok, a fair amount) more, a 135L.
There's no comparison. You won't look back. And when you get a few extension rings, it will double extremely nicely as a macro lens, with better rendering, IMO, than the 100 F/2.8 Macro or the 100L Macro. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

HTH, kind regards, Wim
