Hi all
I like mine, I'll use it until I get a FA 1.4 (which BTW is not on top op my
"list of Pentax dreams" - (the MZ-S and the 3.5/15mm is).
I think the right price should be aprox. 200$
Best Regards
Jens

Emne: Re: What's the good or bad word on the M-85 F2.0??
Thanks William and Arnold,
What you are trying to say is that this is lens is the "not as pretty
sister" that you don't mind people seeing you with and is nice to talk
to.... I put a bid in on the one on e-Bay, so we'll see how it goes. I think
the BIN price of $275 is to high. What do you all think?
l8r,
Douglas E Harmon

: The M85mm f2 is one of the mor maligned lenses on the list. I
: have heard more bad about this lens than most any of the primes.
: Personally, I don't think it deserves the rap. It is a pretty
: solid little picture maker. Ideal for portraiture. It is
: definitely not in the same legue as the 77, but it is a nice
: little lens. I always enjoy using it, and am pretty happy with
: what it does for me. I haven't used it outside the studio much,
: so I don't know how it does in general use.
: Hope that wasn't too vague, but it's bed time.

: The lens has rather low resolution not only wide open but also when
: stopped down. All other Pentax 85mm lenses are superior in that respect.
: Maybe ALL other SMC Pentax primes offer better resolution.With just 5
: spherical elements one probably cannot construct a fast lenswith very
: high resolution. However, high resolution is not necessarily what you
: really want in a portrait lens. I did some very nice and natural
: portraits with this lens. Nicely blurred background. Beautiful colours.
: The M85/f2 is almost as small as a normal lens, so one can easily take
: it everywhere without intimidating the peolpe you want to portrait, and
: mechanically it is really wonderful. I should not have sold mine. But of
: course the FA77/f1.8 is still a greater joy...
