Hi Doug ...

As you probably know, I've almost as many 85mm lenses as Fred,
including the M85/2.0, which is neither as sharp nor as contrasty as
the others.  However, I like it because of its small size and
because I don't always want a rendition as sharp as, for example,
the A*85/1.4. However, it's got a pretty decent bokeh if I recall,
and it should be nice for a typical head-and-shoulders shot.  A few
people have tried to pry the M85/2.0 out of my tight grip, but thus
far I won't let it go.  It serves a purpose, and serves it well. 
And, considering that it's less expensive than just about any other
Pentax 85mm lens, it's a decent value as well.
