Yes, we all know that extreme subject isolation and dreamy bokeh requires a high-end fast prime. So, which lens was this taken with?

We know it wasn’t taken with a D FA* 85/1.4, which makes it off topic. We also know it’s been squished down to cell phone screen resolution, which makes it technically redundant.

The subject separation is perfectly visible, so I'd argue that it's not redundant.

Sure, and how much separation did it take to do it? 1 meter? 5 meters? 10? More than that? It’s just another out of place picture that says nothing.
It’s also an unacceptable and ill mannered attempt at hijacking another thread on the new 85mm lens.

Mmm my doughter will turn 7 months wednesday.
I started thinking about K1+DFA85 ... Those DFA85 shots are that good.
Very bad for finances

They featured in their magazine and a video before, but I think this the first time to see the images uploaded.

I can't wait to see the comparisons and actual user reviews. I already have the FA 77/1.8 limited and the FA*85/1.4. Love them both for different reasons on both my K1ii and K3. I need a real good reason to justify separating me with the coin. I am willing but....we will just have to see! Can't wait for feedback but I won't be among the first to preorder.

At maximum magnification on my machine, the focus on the model's eyes looks to be very good, with nice OOF rendering elsewhere. Those looking for a good portrait lens will probably be very pleased to see these.

Sure don't see very much of it there. The only place I see a hint if it is around the subjects' arms/legs from the mother/daughter walking away shot, but you have to be looking for it. Very impressive.
