Many new 85mm users have faced problems in the beginning...so most likely it's you. Try focusing on an object on a table with your slr/lens on tripod at the other end. Avoid recomposing after focusing.

once you familiar with this lens, it will be razor sharp, be careful of your photos, it may cut your hand. :)
