Vary the exposure from 10 to 60 seconds, in steps of 10 seconds
And REMOVE ANY FILTERS!
Obviously tripod and cable release...

I certainly love my FA* 85mm f/1.4. I mostly shoot at portrait distances.
For infinity use, I either use much shorter focal lengths, or much longer
focal lengths. For street photography, it's not a stealth lens. Especially
