Very nice for portraits. It's not particularly sharp wide open, but that's ok, it's not bad either, and I think that the images generaly hold together well. I have an 8x10 of my daughter on the wall that I and everyone who sees it really likes it, and it was taken wide open.
I've taken my 85 hiking on a few occasions and came back with some nice shots. I prefer a little longer focal lenght (105) for general use but 85 seems to do fine here too.
