Hard to say what the problem is without samples, are you shooting metallic items in the sun? The 85 1.8G is great as long as you don't pixel peep.
I'll post up some samples this evening when I get home! The fringing is definitely worse on metallic objects, but thinks are just very low contrast and hazy.

Yes, I have the same issues with mine. The purple and green fringing is crazy. It's the only lens I have that requires me to almost always fiddle with the sliders in LR to try to remove the CA. When I first got the lens, I asked around and it seems to be "just the way it is" with this lens when you use large apertures.
As far as the cloudy/hazy thing, I know what you mean (loss of contrast at large apertures) but this hasn't hit me as a huge issue.
It's also not a speed freak in the focus department, but of course we knew that going in.
That said, I haven't given up on mine. I still can get good shots with it, but I would love to be able to use it at f/1.8 or f/2 a little less worry-free than I currently am....Show more →
So I'm not the only one. I should add, things get much, much better at F/4+ -- but why would I want to shoot there then, I have my 70-200 for that!
