I find AF pretty unreliable with the FE 1.8/85. I tried using it for motorsports and found it couldn't track mostly parallel motion--not the hard case of motion towards or from. When I first got it I found the focusing slower than the adapted Canon EF 85mm F1.8 USM I was using. Objectively it is about the worst rendering 85mm when I've compared it with others back-to-back. Some of that is because it is not as long as other "85mm" lenses. That may help it be more compact. It might still be a good enough option, just beware the hype.
