Zeiss 85mm f1.4 Anybody used one?

What is your reasoning for the change?

I'm picking up an Old Contax version of the 85/1.4 tonight :) Very excited...was only £260.00 :D I'll likely be selling the Samyang 85/1.4 as a result. My reason for change is that I'm after that Zeiss "pop" which literally (to me) gives images another dimension.
 
Not seen the 85mm but the rest of the range are pretty damn awesome!! Best IQ i have ever seen!
 
Honestly... I just want to own a Zeiss lens and see if it is as amazing as people say it is. And selling the Nikon 85mm is the best way to fund it!

But not sure if it is a good idea though,
 
No autofocus is a deal breaker for me with this. The 85G might be a better bet or even the 105mm DC. Depends what you want to shoot though. Someone on here was selling the 50mm f/2 zeiss which is considered one of their best lenses for the Nikon so I've read.
 
Have a look at robert whites website, they have some example shoots they have taken. It is an awesome lens, I nearly got it but opted for the 50mm 1.4, purely on cost. I really need to use it more, there is something about the images
