Actually, the fact that it's a crop format camera makes it easier for the lens, because we don't see how it performs at the edges like we would on a 5DII. But the central sharpness is impressing never the less.

Incredibly well done portraits, I like the clarity and sharpness too.

Thank you for your feedback.
It`s Fuji s5 pro.
Will place more pictures soon.
I think that this lens is sharper in the corners than the other glass with the same light. The disadvantage is that do not increases the sharpness over f/2.8

can you give some examples... I'm choosing between 85/1.4 and the coming 14/2.8, well I'll have them both but I don't know which one will be first Smile

I make pictures almost in the f 1.4-2.8 therefore did not have samples.

This review may help illustrate what I wrote about:
