I for one use my 85 around town. I would not walk around with my 70-200 if I didn't have to.

85 1.2 is great because its not as crazy big

It's a kilo already - that's approaching the same weight anyway.

We might not walk around with the 70-200 2.8, but a 70-200 4 might be diff story. On www.Photozone.de (external link) tests show the 85 1.8 softer than the 70-200 2.8 L IS II.

Yes but it is no where near as long or obtrusive. I have both, but I chose the 85.
