It does have a bit of CA wide open (not as bad as my 35L though). I haven't experienced train wreck CA like I have seen others. I guess it is entirely possible I have a (dern near) perfect copy.
And maybe my 50 f/1.4 is better than some.
When I get some time I'll post pics from my 85 to give an idea of sharpness and CA as a comparison to yours.
I'll say this: Ken Rockell's suggestion that the 85 f/1.2 be used wide open for astrophotography is seems even more laughable to me now than when I first read it (before I tried the 85 f/1.2)

I haven't used an 85mm lens on full frame yet, but I must say that the 100mm macro is also a very nice portrait lens [A]

I see. I think f2 is my favorite aperture for my 50mm 1.4. For the same reasons
