Yes, it works nicely for you. Some consider this lens the "OM Sonnar."  It has 
the three Ernostar-like front elements.  It has a "Sonnar-look" particularly 
the nice bokeh.
There are a few distances when it gets busy and that is where I like my CV 
90/3.5 wide open.  I trust you have the later optical formula sn> 115,000.  I 
think the MC might have changed in even later ones but would have to look that 
up.  Others will know.  Jane Bown used the lens to photograph the Queen-- 
always at F2.8.  She would time it so the light would be right. For portrait 
length lenses, rendering trumps absolute resolution. The 85 mm/f2 has almost no 
noticeable focus shift and has floating elements that control aberrations at 
full aperture, and it remains a remarkably small lens. 

OMZ 85/2 fan, Mike
