Carl Zeiss Planar 85mm f/1.4 for landscapes on Nikon D810:is it a right choice?

Upload them to a site like flickr and simply click on the share button, then past in the BB code. Like this:

(Loving my 70-200 FL )

Notice that one may also click on the image, it links to the original upload and one can enlarge it for the comparison you've been talking about.

As for an 85mm for landscapes, I'd personally just recommend the small Voigtlander 90mm f/3.5 Apo-Lanthar. It's made in the same plant as those Zeisses... Zeissi eh... lenses. Cosina makes them.

I try with Imageshack.....

From your webpage, I can't see which photo is taken with which lens. Presumably the one a bit wider is the 70-200 FL since a zoom at 85mm may be a bit off?

I think my D810 hasn't issues with AF, because with all the others my AF lenses, to infinity, the results are perfect. My 85mm at portrait-distance, is great-performer,  is very sharp. However, I noticed the tha MAF with the central sensor of MAF is perfect, precise, while sometimes it isn't perfect, it is indecided, uncertain , with lateral sensor, BUT ONLY WITH THE 85mm, also in good light conditions.....

I don't see anything special with these small-sized images.
In general, when you want to evaluate lens sharpness you have to control for focus error.
It is best to focus manually with live view.
AF having a problem (i.e. being imprecise at far distances) is a different matter than the lens being unsharp by design or due to mechanical problems!
