Scott:
If you already own the 135/2.8, use that. A 100 won't be that different
and the 135 is great for portraits. A 100 is probably a better lens in
terms of perspective (I have a 90 and 135, not a 100), but for amateur
subjects, the added working distance of the 135 is a real plus. A great
portrait is largely the result of the expression and the lighting, not any
features of the lens. The expression of non-pro models is usually more
relaxed if your camera is as far back as possible. At least if portraits
are to be full-frame head and maybe shoulders, I think the 135 is perfect.
If you want half-body shots, then the 135 will only work outdoors or in
large rooms.
