Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, overall clean and lively images, acceptable MF
Cons: Some longitudinal CA wide open; moderately fast AF; some coma wide open. Expensive.
Opinion: The focal length is somewhat odd (I feel more at ease with either 58 or 105), and is traditionally used for (shoulder) portraits. In this roles, it is an excellent lens, with adequate sharpness wide open already.
Widest aperture is however not very useful for shoulder portraits, depth of field being insufficient in most cases. I found this lens particularly useful at f/2.2, where the blur is less pronounced and the bokeh still excellent. Full aperture may be useful in very low light, or for "creative" shots.
Another interesting area is night shots, where this lens performs well thanks, inter alia, to its coatings. There is some visible firefly-like coma wide open, which is acceptable because it is not "smeared".
Handling is quite good: this lens is biggish but not very heavy, and acceptable as a walk-around lens if you do not mind drawing attention (or if you *seek* attention).
On the negative side, this lens costs an arm and a leg. Please note that for portraits, you could as well use an old 105/2.5 wide open and get nice, though not identical, results.

Opinion:Finally after years of use I leave this review. Optics that still manages to amaze me every time I use it, unique character. The bokeh is a little less magical than his 1.4D ancestor but only realizes it if one has them both :D For the rest, to say, at 1.4 it is already sharp, even on z7 I find it too engraved to TA, in fact in the portraits slightly lowered the sharpness. I put the weight in the pros because I think it's the lightest 85mm 1.4 in circulation. It's the optics that every portrait painter should have. Vote 10
Opinion:She takes beautiful photos! If it's soft sometimes, there's Photoshop! It's very sharp, it's tridimentional, it manages to make even insignificant subjects look beautiful. I made no comparisons, I am very satisfied (in analogue I used Hasselblad and Leiz to telemeter!). She will never be responsible for a bad photo, but it can help make her beautiful! I forgot: it has dimensions still "human" that allow you to carry it behind, unlike the other "telini" f 1.4.
Cons:Very high cost of the new and possibly the weight
Opinion:I have this lens for a few months and I have to say gives a truly amazing blur, that combined with a good composition, give the image an extraordinary three-dimensionality. For portrait, fashion photography and set portraits is a vision that you would never take away! The build quality is also very good and the autofocus is decidedly fast even if for these genres is not indispensable. The only real flaw that I can find is the price, almost 2000 euros for the new that is really high.
Opinion:Used mainly only for portraiture, it offers with diaphragms above 2 a breathtaking sharpness and incisive Bokeh. It weighs a bit but comparable with lenses of the same focal length. Good and fast MAF also in counter light. The comparison with the ART series is duty; If I had tried the ART before, I'd probably still have about €800 more in my pocket to buy another art.
