The 85mm 1.8G is my go-to portrait lens. I love it and wouldn't be without it.
Here's one of the first shots I took with the 85mm on my old D60, all the way open at 1.8:

And here are some shots with the 85mm on the D600:
All the way open at f1.8

I suppose my next task should be to try some photos with the aperture as small as I can get it.

Very nice shots and interesting that the busy bokeh wide open gets so much better closed down a bit.

Well, I think I had the subject further away from the background in the 3.2, so I'm thinking it's not so much the aperture size as it is distance. I should probably redo these with a static subject. I was mostly thinking about the sharpness and detail and hadn't considered how deceptive the difference in bokeh might be with the varying distances between subject and background. And between lens and subject, for that matter. Sorry about that!

I don't think it is the aperture,as such. More the same effect as in the 1.8D, where the fully retracted aperture blades produces some light scatter giving a similar effect that goes away already at f/2.
If you would like to do some more controlled shots I would be interested in the results.
