Mark, this lens is fairly new and I haven't had a chance to put it through the paces (i.e., the infamous and brutal newspaper test). I agree that the 85 appears sharper in these examples than the 50. It could be the lens, but because I shot these hand-held, it's more likely that I moved slightly after focusing. As you know, the DOF on any of these lenses wide open and at the closest focus distance is literally a couple of millimeters, so user error is the probable culprit.
It probably is, cos the subject in the M8 shots are more centrally positioned (probably due to the location of the rangefinder patch ) compared to those with the Canon, where the subjects were placed slightly off center. A tripod test will be more conclusive, but still, thanks for doing the tests and showing us the differences!
