Thanks for the review
The face on your bokeh sample is quite soft

Cute little lens but for me it's hard to see a F/3.5 DOF being called a portrait lens.
And I expected the center resolution to be as high as the Pana 20/1.7.
It's only 300€ but the FF 85/1.8 are too. I guess you pay for small size & novelty.

I may be mistaken but no one needs the shallowest DOF possible all the time, and it depends on other factors as well like the subject-to-camera and subject-to-background distance.
If you want the shallowest DOF possible no matter what, you may need to invest a magnitude more. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
