Buying a new Portrait Lens

They are very close in their range. What is going to matter most is if you are shooting on a crop sensor or a full frame camera. The 100mm will be INCREDIBLY tight indoors on a crop sensor body and the 85 is VERY tight. MANY to most crop sensors actually go with a 50mm for portraits and it's also tight indoors if you don't have a lot of room to work with.

What lens do you have currently? Can you set your lens to 85mm and walk around shooting only at 85mm. See how that feels. Then set it at 100mm. Walk around shooting at 100MM and see how that feels to you.
