85mm-1.8 or 100mm-2.8 Macro for EOS20D?

[macluc]

Hello,
This is my first post at Belgiumdigital. Already saw a lot of good tips but now i'm still in doubt about what to do......for my EOS20D i want to buy a "short" Canon tele lens and i wonder if the 100mm 2.8 performs good for candid photography (street photography, portraits etc.) also because it's build for macro as well. The 85mm-1.8 would be a a good alternative ofcause but i would like the Macro feature of the 100mm...........any tips would be very welcome!
Thanks!
Ik zie net dat net dat de gangbare taal hier toch Nederlands is, sorry voor mijn engelse post....reply's in Nederlands zijn ook zeer welkom :-)

I am a Nikonian but a suspect the macro lens will focus a bit slower, will be very sharp. For portrait 100mm will be a bit long, especially since most canon prosumer dslrs have a 1.6 crop.
85mm is my favorite lens for portrait. I use wide angle for candid pics because you can point and shoot from your hip without using viewfinder.

Ik heb beide lenzen en beide zijn echt steengoed, maar voor candid en straat fotografie zou ik persoonlijk de 85 mm F1.8 verkiezen omdat de focus hier veel sneller is dan bij een macrolens.
