2. Jupiter-9 85mm F2.o, plus a k-mount adapter — good color

Oops!  This reminds me that I left out an "honorable mention" from
my original list for this poll:

The Zenitar MC K 85/1.4 has gorgeous bokeh (although it's definitely
a softer lens than is either the A* or the FA* 85/1.4 lenses) - it's
a really neat portrait lens (just as long as you don't want really
"biting" detail in your portraits - <g>).  See:

Hi Fred,

I've never seen that before! Very interesting—less sharpen wide open, though less vignetting in exchange. And it comes K mount? I've never seen a sample of the Jupiter-9 offered in K mount, just screw.

Have you had a chance to compare the Jupiter-9 to your others, as well?
