They weren't very odd to me, but very real, actually. Furthermore, you don't have to believe me, obviously, but I have handled enough lenses in my life to know what I see, apart from the fact that I have been testing lenses for about 35 years or so.
The 100 F/2 is known to have less PF than the 85 F/1.8, BTW.

I never said I don't believe you, I just question your way of ignoring many other user accounts (and indeed all the actual photos made with the 85mm f1.8 and to be found all over internet) , which make your samples "very odd" indeed.
And direct comparisons show the same amount...

So much for being a known? I know what I see in that side by side comparison at f2 too.
I know for instance that my particular Tokina 12-24mm f4 DX has turned out to be a rubbish lens, but I do not lose sight of that many actually do not get the problems I got with that lens. It is evident that the Canon EF 85mm f1.8, even though you have had very little luck with them, is not a bad lens at all.
