I have the 100 f2. I love this lens. I have used it on my XTi and 5D. I like it for head and shoulders portraits. I use it to catch the action at poles and barrels(horses) when my daughter is ridding.


I tried it on my 5D for indoor basketball. I got some great shots but found it a bit long. I would think on a crop body the 85 may be better. I am not sure what you mean by event shooting but I shoot weddings and find the 100 not usable at the receptions. I need the flexibility of a zoom.


Hope this helps
