Sharpness is almost universally excellent but even better at f/2.8-4
very low CA
almost zero distortion at 0.13% barrel
flare resistance is generally excellent and backlit images not a problem
bokeh is lovely

weird 86mm filter thread
big and heavy
focus is good and fast when compared to the slow Canon 85L
marginally sharper and closer focusing by ~5“ than Canon and Nikon pro lenses
