Get Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM at B&H Photo, and see my Sony wish list.

This comparison evaluates sharpness across the field, secondary color, and bokeh using a subject with uniformity across the field and a substantial near-to-far depth.

What caught my eye here was the simplicity of the scene and how it captures a common sight in this area quite elegantly: an old and struggling small pine tree trying to make it. But also it’s an excellent setup for judging optical prowess: sharpness, secondary color, potential focus shift.
