Some thougts by just browsing superficially through your test:
I think the 85L is a really great lens.
I think, too:
The Gitzo 2541 is IMO a bit on the weak side for such a test. Series 3 or 4 are more decent. (I have a GK2580TQR, which is the same except the head and a 4542- for pixel peeping purposes I would use the Humvee instead of a Suzuki :lol: )
Adapting a 85/1.4 Nikon to a Canon means "an adaptor is involved" and adds to a possible set of mechanical tolerances of the lens itself another set. No adaptor is perfect.
I use the Nikkor on a D800 and I see in 3 miles distance not only the cross on a mountain but also some electric wires. Okay, that was f/4, but landscapes in wide open?
So anyway, if you're happy about it, great. It's just a shame the 5DII doesn't bring all those details... (couldn't resist
)
As long as I have to wait for a Sigma 85/1.4 Art, that Nikkor will do.
