Frankly, it's a tough lens to shoot wide open, because the DoF is so thin - as a result, you don't see too many pros shooting with the 85L wide open. Stopping down a little increases DoF, but it only increases the sharpness a little - so at f/1.8 it's almost as soft as it is wide open. You can see that soft look in the 100% crop on the right: [:P]
