I bought my Sony Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 ZA almost a year ago because of the lack of this FL in the FE lens lineup. Yes, I am very pleased with the results of this portrait lens. Now, the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 will be available in July and now, I am pondering whether to “Batis or not to Batis” 
A few samples from the ZA..

Nice shots guys! I really liked the Sony Zeiss 85 1.4, except all that purple 
I am noticing the handling of greens on the FD lenses is very saturated and dark (low luminance comparatively). Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I thought it was an 85L thing but this 80-200FD does the same, but I do really like how the FD lenses handle reds and blues.
Keep up the good work guys!

Purple? As in purple fringing or longitudinal CA? I couldn't say that I noticed that in excessive level, if any.

Yes, purple fringing. It has massive amounts--more than any other 85 1.4 I shot. I actually just got tired of trying to process it out and went with the Canon 85FD instead. Most fast lenses have some fringing, but the 85CZ was annoyingly high. I have posted some examples below. One uncorrected (raw export), one with the LR5 Defringe tool on max (still leaves purple patches in the dark), and one with the color purple entirely desaturated, which does get rid of the fringing, but obviously screws everything else up. If they reduced the fringing, or released this APO corrected it would be a perfect lens.

OK, your definition of purple fringing differs from mine. I consider longitudinal CA or purple fringing to be more the color shadows at harsh contrast transitions and that is mostly noticeable at OOF areas. In my book, it is not the overall tone of the subject like in your case. Again, based on my observation, the loCA is generally very well controlled in that lens. You may spot some at f/1.4 or f/2.0 at 100% image magnification but not bothersome.

Ahh, I see. Yes, the lens exhibits the fringing you are talking about, but not severe or anything at all. I found in high contrast subjects at f2 and below I was getting purple everywhere. Otherwise I loved the lens. What is the type of optical occurance I am talking about classified as? Chromatic abrasions?
