Still, FA* 85/1.4 goes for what (older) A*85/1.4 and (a lot > older and slower) K85/1.8 I don't have doubts that they are good. My > question is, are they *that* good?
The K85/1.8 is very rare and sought after both as user and collectable. Optically, it is the same as the SMC Takumar. It is a superb lens! Too bad Pentax didn't keep it in the catalogue longer. The 85f1.4 is a internal focus design where as the 85 f1.8 was not. In shear resolution, the 85 f1.8 exceeds that of the 77 f1.8 limited other than the limited seems to be better in the f16 - 22 range "Yoshihiko's Site". If I didn't already have one, including the SMC Takumar, I would probably LUST for one. Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
