AF microadjustment and 85/1.2

I'm trying out an 85/1.2 this weekend with the 1DX.  I've started to adjust the AF microadjustment settings and notice that it seems to require a fair amount, around +15 maybe +20.  (Admittedly, I haven't had to do any microadjustment with e.g. 24-70/2.8; it seemed to work fine without any).

Is this to be expected with the 85/1.2 or other really fast lenses?  Does anyone not need to do the microadjustment with their 85/1.2?  What about average amount?

Thanks.
