To me, the Batis 85 beats the 85L hands down.

"But then what would it make the 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar? They're different lenses for different purposes, but when I looked at the images from the 25mm Distagon and then looked at the 85mm Sonnar images, I could only think of the Sonnar image - they are simply mind-blowing.
Yes, the bokeh is typically Sonnar-like in its character, and the background melts away gorgeously when shot wide-open at f/1.8. But then you look closer. And closer. And then even closer. That's when things should crack up and look a blurry mess. Nope. The detail you get with the Sonnar is so sharp it's almost too sharp. It pulls out all the imperfections, showing up pimples and pores that will surely not please the self-concious. This is at f/1.8 too, not f4, but wide-open. If you want a portrait lens for the Sony a7 series, you need not look further - this is the definitive piece."
I guess there is a reason why they call it a bad-ass (Batis) lens.
Thank you Bob 
The Batis 85 is an amazing lens, but there is very much a place for the likes of the 50L and 85L with AF having f/1.2

I just received my Batis 85 this morning and I spent about 1/2 hour optimizing my menu settings with eyeAF, face recognition, etc. So far this lens is amazing IMO. It is not too sharp as a portrait lens, and it works fantastically with the eyeAF. I was somewhat concerned this lens maybe too razor sharp as I prefer the more gentle roll off similar to the Mandler designed lenses.The Batis 85 is an amazing lens, but there is very much a place for the likes of the 50L and 85L with AF having f/1.2

Amazing shots everyone!
Gary, love the snow scape shot !!
John awesome landscape capture!
Bobby, the Batis 85 will be my main lens, but I needed a replacement for my 75 Lux and the 85L II is better in some ways with AF It is very hard to see the detail that the Batis 85 resolves on the web, but it is amazing, but it is gentle too. Also the colors and how it renders the tonality is another big plus for me.

I just went the other way around. Sold my 85 to get the 75 and dont regret it. The lux has some of the magical rendering ever and i am unable to convince myself to sell it now
Beautiful images.

Thanks! It was a quick, unplanned shot while just walking around but I did ask my friend to stand in the part where the light was coming from.

My wife Marisa this afternoon visited a Brazilian hairdresser, and asked for a quick few shots for her hairdresser's site.
With the Batis 85 f/1.8 and A7rII is possible just to hold the A7rII in one hand, with eyeAF, AF-C, face recognition on and the ICE light in the other hand. The shots are virtually straight from the camera with virtually no PP'ing. I'm really enjoying this lens

Very nice! BTW how do you like the ICE light? We printed Jerry Ghionis' DARLING book recently. He is an incredible photographer and a very inspiring speaker.

Finally some snow - almost a month later than usual. We'll see how long it last though. The rainbow colors are caused by the sun shining through a thin cloud of tiny ice crystals (which also explains why some of the shots look a bit hazy).
