Hi gang ...

More questions about this lens.  Sorry if I'm being a PITA about
this, but there's just none around here that I can try out.

Bill Robb commented that the 77mm is one of, if not the,
sharpest lenses he's ever used for 35mm work.  How does it
compare to the A*85/1.4 or the K85/1.8? How's its ability to
resolve extremely fine detail?  Does it provide a great deal of
contrast (I don't  know how to quantify that)?   Have you done
any B&W work with it?  Have you used it for anything other than
portraits?  How does it seem with scenics, for example?  Does it
retain its good qualities when it's focused at, or very close
to, its minimum focusing distance?  How does the bokeh look at
various apertures?

Yoshi's resolution tests show the K85/1.8 has having better
resolving power at mid-aperture, and the K105/2.8 seems to have
substantially better resolving power, although at smaller than
mid aperture.

So, just how good is this lens?
