Edit: 2 & 4 are Zeiss my opinion based on looking at my small work monitor
Todd, first off great portraits using mf with these two excellent lenses.
Unfortunately/fortunately (however you look at it) both lenses will perform quite similarily in this situation. While the ZF 100 is excellent for portraits, the beauty of this lens is the versatility in being an ultimate landscape/macro/portrait lens all in one. Is it worth $1,400 more than a Nikon is based on what the user needs. For just in studio portrait use, obviously not. For those of you saying you can\'t see a difference in this and the 105 VR, true, you can\'t.....at web sized jpg level. If printing large, looking 100% you will see a HUGE difference in image quality.
