Among Zuikos, it depends which 100 and which 135.  The 100/2.8 is almost
exactly the same size as the 85.  The 135/3.5 is larger, but it is not a
very large lens for this focal length. Maybe you were referring to
something other than size by saying "easier to handhold."  The 85 is great
to handhold all right.
