Yes,it is a very decent performer.Almost as good as the FD 135/2.5 SC.This "almost" probably refers only to slightly better coatings.I'm glad that you turned your attention on that great vintage lens.

Reading stand in a shape of imperial/legion eagle.Yes.Out of all post-roman countries,France (Francogalia) is the most very successor of the Roman Empire.
BTW:I know that this eagle is a direct outcome of Napoleon Era,but Napoleon deliberately followed Roman symbolics....
Waves motion and stationary ice in Jokulsarlon. 85 Otus
Going to the 85mm allowed me to stand a bit out of the waves but I had no 86mm ND on me for the so I had to play with the ISO and f stop to get some motion.
Thanks for sharing these great images. I also want to add my view point that FD 135 2.5 SC is a wonderful vintage lens and has some very unique rendering. I find it great in dim concert halls with filmisic color. Here are a few images taken a number of years back during one my son's high school play. All shot wide open at 2.5

I hope you get good copy of 16-35 f4, few of my friends had some quality issues and had to exchange the lens to other copy.
Yes, Loxia 85 shots look damn great - that is why I'm little hesitant on GM 85 lens. Luckily it seems that boke is just awful at large distances (like in my previous post). It seems that boke "can't fail" at short distances, I shoot difficut forest backlight without polarizer (yes, very stupid, and would never do such idiot thing unless testing lens), but when focus distance is less than 5 meters / 15 feet it seems boke quality is always great. Few samples from closer shooting distances:
I was obviously aware that photos of benches were very clearly THE benchmark for lens testing but I hadn't realised they were mandatory.
Here then is my mandatory bench shot and I am pleased to say that we have a suitable subject bench with some added character and texture sitting here in the garden.
More conflower frenzy at Beutter Park, Mishawaka, Indiana. A7RII with Aires 45/1.5 rangefinder lens. Two-frame stitch. I've posted the full-sized Flickr jpg (2000 px length) because the gorgeous rendering of this lens isn't very visible in a small jpg.
