I recently acquired a smc 85/1.8. After a few weeks shooting I would agree.
The lens is tack sharp from f2 -f16 (passable at f1.8, thou my judgement
might be in error as the DOF is SO narrow, and my eyes are 60 years old.).
The color is pentax great. I have an old rollieflex sl 35m that I keep an
love because of a ziess sonnar 135/2.8. It is, by far, the best tele I
have, or was....the new 85/1.8 is in the same class with a stop to spare.
Hopefully I will be using the 85 for a long time (an the focal length is a
rea pleasure for me to work with).
