Using back button eye-AF has been a boon to using this lens. For whatever reason, relying on the shutter half-press makes results a bit less reliable for me.
P.S. This is my first post here. I don't know how post a static image.
I am not sure if there is an esay way to post static image from google image. Most here uses Flickr which allows static image link. The free account can hold 1000 images.
I bought the lens and had a terrible time with it, out of focus rate is about 50%. My old Canon 85mm F1.8 lens gives me about 95-98 % of shots in focus. Have to tell that the colors and the bokeh is really good but the focusing ... I returned it, still using my Canon glass.

I would post an image I got with this lens but it is too complicated, here is the link to Flick page with it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/133606804@N04/48835070381/in/dateposted-public/
Just wanted to add few words.
I'm sure this forum generates some money and has programers that could easily make changes. For exampple, a link to to a picture would display a picture not just the link. Piece of shit owners of the Forum have time to incorporate buttons Buy-Sell but do not have resources to make the forum user-friendly.
I didn't bring this with me lately as I have been traveling and this is not in my travel kit. But I love the lens so am trying to get back into purposefully taking some more shots with it.
I bought this lens especially to take with me to Japan a week or so ago, to photograph the insane colours of the Autumn leaves there. I used it mainly in place of my 135 (which is too long for snap shots in the streets and for landscape shots though I love it for portraits).
I'm really loving this lens (I told myself I'd never bother with an 85 again after selling my Batis. 'I don't see at this focal length' I'd convinced myself). My wife approves however
fabulous lens!
