I never could understand why people pay so much for these, except the consumerism and lust factor. I mean, the 1.8/85 is great lens (the very similar or same Zeiss/Zeiss Jena design is great) but a lens designed mainly for wide open performance with use of advanced glass types like the 1.2 or 1.4 85s from Pentax,Canon,Zeiss will surely be better, at least at the wider apertures.
Perhaps some people love their Pentax bodies so much that they wouldn't consider getting another body just for another maker's lens. Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
