Samsung 85mm f/1.4 Review (updated for NX20)

I updated my review of the Samsung 85mm f/1.4 for the NX20.

http://erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=2777

(please note the scales on the graphs changed accordingly, so it might look like the corners are worse, but only relative to the center. I am split on how to do this, do I just put a fixed scale or put in a relative, as "red" on the NX20 is better than red on the NX11.)

My conclusions are basically the same. High resolution lens at all settings even f/1.4, improves on stopping down even more (mainly contrast improves, resolution is good even at 1.4)

The NX20 has more differentiation between the center and corners as the corners are starting to max out on the NX11 (they are still high resolution), but the center performance surpasses the NX20 sensor with no issue. This lens would be good on even a higher resolution sensor.
