I plan on selling my 85 1.8 cause i'll rather use my sigma 50 1.4, but I can't make up my mind between the two sigma or canon 100L macro :(

what are you planning to use it for....??

Also why is there so many threads comparing a fast prime to a macro lens which is considerably much slower??

I owned both in the past and I wouldn't use the 100L for portrait which is my main use. I eventually sold the Sigma because the 135L (now sold) was just better imo.

My suggestion to you is keep the 85 1.8 and get the 135L.

two different lenses. sigma excells in portraits, 100L not as goog in portraits but as a bonus you get to use it for macro which is, as you know, useful in wedding photography.

I use the 100 2.8L IS for weddings as it is light instead of the 70-200.
