Infrared Performance
A nice clean lens with very good an consistent hotspot performance. Not as sharp as I would have hoped. I have tested many 85mm f/1.8 lenses sharper and more contrasty (in general) than this, but perhaps some of this is due to it's age or not adapting well to mirrorless. These are minor nitpics however, it's still a very good lens with stellar IR performance.
