Actually that would have been a FA 85mm f1.4. The 1.8 was a pre A
lens. The Samyang 85mm f1.4 gets very good reviews and is very
inexpensive compared to a modern autofocus f1.4 portrait lens.

The last 85/1.8 was produced by Pentax in 2004. That's 12 years ago!
And it's 20% shorter and half a stop slower.
Samyang lenses are reportedly good, but they are not AF. (And I don't
remember if they are FF. Not that it matters for at this time, ...
until I got K-1).

... and the last 135 mm was produced by Pentax in 2000!
