I believe the new MM 85f1.4 address this issue by rounding the blades. This was one of the changes made when production was moved to Japan. One thing I like about an 85f1.4 is that at f1.4 and more so at f2 the center is already fairly sharp but the edges have a nice fall off. If you want biting sharp edge to edge you can obtain it by f4.

Joop,
I think some good examples can be found in this thread :http://forum.manualfocus.org/viewtopic.php?id=9425
I think both cogitech and Anden will be able to tell you something about it.
The problem that occurs between 2.0 and 4.0 is that at wide open, the opening is of course round. As you stop down, the blades appear and until f4 they give a ninja star like opening, hence the "strange" look of OOF rendering. Some dislike it, some say it's a personal signature ( "it's not a bug, it's a feature" ). That remains to be seen. If you dislike it, you might want to look into the Leica Summicron 90mm 2.0 ( the non-APO version ). I for myself decided to get the CZ and sell the Leica, because I intend to use it either at 1.4 ( so being able to shoot at 1.4 was the main reason ) for inside shots, or from 4.0 onwards for outdoor shots....Show more →
