Since I was on an unstable ladder in crappy weather (gusts of random wind and rain clouds looming overhead) I decided to slap on the 77 instead of my trusty 85 since I thought it would give me a little more leeway for the composition and so I wouldn't have to get too high on the ladder. The bokeh isn't quite as smooth or as pleasing to my eye as the 85 but still a nice rendering that I am happy with.
I have both these lenses, and notice that my wife and her friends, when in modelling status, are increasingly asking for the big lens (the big silver hood, you know) instead of the magic lens (the 77) which they always used to ask for, now that I have both.
