I thought I read somewhere that the 85/1.8 was a better - and more legendary - lens than the /1.4 But I am not sure. You may want to know this:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/showproduct.php?product=124&cat=28 1000 dollar is a lot of money. On the other hand: you have the opportunitiy to examine the lens yourself BEFORE buying. Don't know about the 135. There is however 1 review: bet you found it yourself, too... http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/showproduct.php?product=120&cat=28 Good luck! (& send me a PM if you choose NOT to buy one of them.
