I wouldn't say you picked the "wrong one", it is an m42 Pentax
However, I believe that the SMCTak 85mm f1.8 is the considered
better of the old 85's. That said, I have never been disappointed
with the results from my 85mm f1.9 and if I were to seek another
85mm, it would be the A* 85mm f1.4

The SMCTak is the precursor to the K versions, but I suspect
the actual differences are much due to the SMC - and either
are better than any of the 3rd party screwmount 85's. How much
did it set you back?
