Very nice pictures. Next time I will work harder. Has anybody tried a screw
mount 85 MM? Is the A 85 F1.9 the same lens in a new mount.?. Do I need to
start looking for the A or F 85 mm?? So many questions.....so little
money
The 85/1.9 is not greatly reputed. The 85/1.8 had a few incarnations;
the latest one is the same as the K85/1.8. The 85/1.4 is a different
beast. Resources:

it has been a while since Stan found some time to update it; the main
point is that the comments are applicable to film photography and
don't necessarily translate well to digi-land).
