Many people malign this lens, but I used it for years with great pleasure.
It was the 4th lens that I owned after a 50/1.7, a 28/2.8, and a 135/3.5, and
had several advantages.
It is very small, just a touch longer than a 50/1.4 and lightweight. At 85mm
it is easier to isolate your subjects than with a 50mm, but not as
restricting as a 135mm is inside the house. And at f2.0, you can take
pictures in subdued lighting without a flash. This is especially nice now
that 400 & 800 film speeds are so available. It makes candid shots easy.

consensus was on the M-85mm F2.0. Any comments appreciated.....
