1.2 definitely has back focusing issues on some copies. and what you need depends on your shooting styles. i have a 35L, 50 1.4, 100 2.8, and 135L...i find myself primarily using the 35 and 100 outside (as far as primes go), and the 50 and 100 inside. f/2 is a fantastic aperture at 135, but it's too long a focal length to be really useful in studio. as far as the 85 goes, i'm swapping my 135 with a local pro for a little while to see if i like the focal length...but i'll buy the Sigma 85 1.4 over the canon 1.8

build quality, balance on a gripped full size body, that extra little bit of aperture...they all make it worth the price for me.
