There are two interesting tidbits to be noticed here. Firstly, the most expensive Canon actually fares the worst and the cheapest models, so the Samyang and the Nikkor 1.8/85G, are the best. Secondly, all the 85 mm instruments have a slight “barrel” distortion tendency whereas the new Nikkor 1.8/85G inclines rather toward “pincushion” deformations. At the end we must emphasize the fact that, in the case of all 85 mm lenses, the distortion levels are negligible so the problem of geometric deformations practically doesn’t exist.
