Although the 100f2.8 is very sharp, it is quite a long bulky lens (its nearly the size of the 200 f2.8).

Agreed Terry,
the 100 f2 has a very small footprint() compared to the f2.8.
But I am still worried about the "horrific CA" commented on in many of the web reviews - those guys are commenting on bright objects in daylight, the stars are even more critical on lens flaws...so I worry!!!.
And, as IIS member Dave has stated - the f2.8 is the only non L lens they'll use at his pro studio...And!! that pic you took is a beaut!!!
