You forgot to mention the extra stop that the 85/2 has.  That comes in
handy inside at times.  I'm not sure of the look of the two lenses at f/2
vs f/2.8 WRT boheh, etc; I sold my 100/2.8 because I didn't use it enough.

I noticed that nobody mentioned the 135/2.8, one of my true favorites of
the Zuiko line.  Having the 85/2 and the 135/2.8 was what made the 100/2.8
superfluous for me.

Oh, and I had the 135/3.5 for a while and it wasn't THAT much smaller or
ligher than the 135/2.8, and you lost 1/2 stop, AND I didn't like the
photos from it as much as the 135/2.8, so it went away too.  The
disadvantage with the f2.8 is it uses 55mm filters.

The 100/2.8 has much better bokeh than the 135/3.5.  When
seeking that 3D look, the 100/2.8 has it.

Now, compare the 100/2.8 to the 85/2, I'd say that both are
pretty close.  Other than the extra reach that those 15mm get
you, the two lenses are nearly identical.
