Hello, Maciej. I would say that you should get the lens, assuming that it's in decent shape. The M 85/2 is a pretty good portrait lens, and the prices for good copies of it are well above $130 USD. Even if you didn't end up liking it, you could resell it without too much trouble. I have a few shots of several 85mm lenses (including the 85/2) at http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/85compar/ Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
