Many people malign this lens, but I used it for years with great pleasure.  
It was the 4th lens that I owned after a 50/1.7, a 28/2.8, and a 135/3.5, and 
had several advantages.  

It is very small, just a touch longer than a 50/1.4 and lightweight.  At 85mm 
it is easier to isolate your subjects than with a 50mm, but not as 
restricting as a 135mm is inside the house.  And at f2.0, you can take 
pictures in subdued lighting without a flash.  This is especially nice now 
that 400 & 800 film speeds are so available.  It makes candid shots easy.

Regards,  Bob S.

     I checked BOA's site on this, but was wondering what the general
 consensus was on the M-85mm F2.0. Any comments appreciated.....
