Bill, I've seen the M85/2.0 go as high as $400.00+. Good ones these days are in the $225.00 - $300.00 range. Deals can often be found. Take a look at the message Antti-Pekka just posted with a list of Pentax items from Woodmere Camera. (http://www.woodcam.com) They have a nice one for $275.00. I can attest to the honest and integrity of Woodmere Camera. While Rich's prices are not always the lowest, he grades honestly and is quick to satisfy a customer if there are any problems.
