I have both the Pentax round and square (rectangular actually) hoods for
50mm.
No other lens has given me so much pleasure and there is no
piece of photographic equipment in the world I would rather have(except
maybe an MZ-D prototype)!
Not even the Hasselblad on the Moon?
The 77 is also much smaller and lighter than the 85 I believe.

I would opt for a K85/1.8. In many ways it's the equal of the FA 85/1.4
or the 77/1.8. However it's not autofocus and is consequently much less
expensive. If your eyes are good, you're better off without autofocus.

When I'm on a trip I take one type of film only, usually Kodachrome,

Similar things apply to the 'what if...' syndrome.
