Beautiful out of focus rendition, tack sharp, probably the nicest lens I have ever owned. However, for a portrait lens it can be a little intimidating for a subject to be faced with this stubby chunk of glass, thus often requiring a little more effort to build up a rapport. It will never be discreet. I also like that it isn't as warm out of camera as the 85 1.4G, which I always felt was somewhat overcooked. I know it can all be corrected in post, but why have to? Autofocus speed is about the same as the 85. Side note, the 82mm filter thread (out of step with Nikon's usual 77mm) has meant having to splash out on a few extra nd filters.

FANTASTIC LENS OPTIC. Simply gorgeous bokeh at times. It is not that ultra liquid creamy bokeh ( in my opinion ) that many designs are after these days but I really like that it just normal beautiful bokeh. I already have a modern optic with liquid bokeh. It all gets a bit too predictable at times. This lens is actually better really and I prefer the bokeh but I have only seen a 1000 shots with it or something. It is still early days. I believe this lens is a keeper and no concerns at all. Sharpness is very good certainly over -kill for most prints I'd ever make from it. It is plenty sharp enough.
