Most people say there is no such thing as a perfect camera, I guess they didn't have the chance to shoot with a 1DIIN.

Stopped down a bit is slightly sharper (sharpness peaks slightly at f/4), but the 85L is still extremely sharp all the way out to the edges of the frame (at least on a 1.6 crop camera), even wide open.
Check out what photozone.de has to say:
http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/canon_85_12/index.htm
Here's a quote:
"MTF (resolution & chromatic abberations)
The lens performed OUTSTANDING in the lab and that's at ALL tested aperture settings and surprisingly that even includes the extreme f/1.2. The performance peaks at f/4. The lens was designed for full-frame cameras so the APS-C sized sensor of the EOS 350D takes only advantage of the sweet spot which certainly helps here."

great work.. i like a lot your color.
i have the 85/1.8. though it is very sharp (sharp @ F1.8) and great color, i didn't find its color any close to your work with 85L.
is the vivid color rite out of the camera or after fine-tuning. could you share your usual para for the color tuning?

2 samples here.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/khunk/250461926/ this one close down to f16 but the background still shows pleasing transition from clear to softness. It is amazingly sharp, on the original size, you can see all the detail, hair and each water drops on the body of the model.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/khunk/248932045/ this one shot close to wide open inside the spa, luckily on the bathtub, just natural light, with strong light in the side and background, the lens control the flare exeptionally well. The running water in the front shows very natural boken, the wood panel on the back although pleasingly soft, still reveal good detail.

Thank you for your kind comments.
First of all, what Canon body do you have? For those photos, I used a Canon 5D. I don't know how much of a different would it make, but from my experience (1 year in photography), I noticed that it is much more easier for me to post-processing 5D file than the 20D. Not sure about other camera bodies.
As for the picture itself, all those photos have been pp. On my copy of the 85L, the color straight out of the camera is very dull. It got that grayish look. However, the bokeh is to die for. Believe it or not, after working on those photos, I actually end up losing the beauty of the Canon 85L bokeh.
One very interesting fact and unique about this lens is that, despite being very dull looking straight out of the camera, BUT, the color information is definitedly there. It is possible to retrieve many different colours during the pp process. Unlike some of my other lenses, the colours of the 85L is very interesting, unique, and vibrant. It is still a mystery to me.
So, to answer your question regarding the color of the photo I posted, it is the lens that give me the colours. I don't think I myself have the ability to contribute to the vibrant color. I have tried with the 70-200L IS to reproduce the same looking colors, but still couldn't come close. The color of the 70-200L IS tend to come out harsh, and lack the creamy colours of the 85L. However, the 70-200L IS does produce better colors straight out of the camera. Very strange.
If you interest in knowing the post-processing process, I used the same techniques as Mr. Roland Lim. Much of the colours in my photo was inspired by him. Withou him, I don't think I'll be able to achieve what I achieve today. His jump started me in pp is a bless.
Here is Mr. Lim's pp workflow...
