The 100mm macro being close to an 85. The only difference between the 70-200 at around 85mm and the 85mm prime is 1 stop of narrower DOF. I'm not into portrait, but I would think you could easily duplicate that same blurriness of background by choosing a slightly longer focal length. If you do any landscape shooting at all, there is no substitute for a decent wide angle lens. I do very little landscape shooting, but when I do, the 24 end of my Z 24-70 is indispensable. In fact, I sometimes wish I had something a little wider, but the 24 works well, and the Z 24-70 is a very sharp lens.</blockquote>
