PIN photodiode & TIA question

Hi everybody.
I am going to use S7481 photodiode as high speed photodetector for 100Mbit/s free space optical link. It is high speed photodiode (Cut-off frequency 500MHz) with high sensitivity in visible range

but it has high junction capacitance - 6pF. I have MAX3657 transimpedance amplifier (TIA)

But it optimized for 0.5pF capacitance photodiodes. For 0.5pF MAX3657 has130MHz signal bandwidth, for 1.5pF bandwidth is 50MHz. It less than 75Mhz, needed for 100Mbit/s. Not only bandwidth decreased, input referred noise level increase also.
Can I loss sensitivity but reach 75Mhz bandwidth on S7481 + MAX3657? Or I need other solution ? What would you recommend ?
