I have the 70-200 2.8 MKII joined to a 5DMK III and the two have rarely been separated. The 85mm is definitely a lens I would love to have if I were going to do a bunch of professional head-shots but other than that, I would prefer the 70-200 because of it's versatility and it doesn't get much better in IQ for a zoom lens.

Anyway I have a 5d mk3 and currently have a 17-40 f4L and a 50 f1.4
I'm thinking of either getting a 70-200 f2.8l is II or a 85mm f1.2L II. Both are nearly the same price but have very different, well somewhat different, uses. I can use both for portrait, but I'm looking for a more general lens I can always use for anything. Been leaning towards the 70-200 because of it's insane IQ and sharpness and wide range of use
Question: which one would you guys prefer to use? Have any experiences with each that you want to share?
