If you look at the large version photo, you can see it's an f1.8.

I was watching that auction. I was troubled by the 85 being described as an M 85/1.8. Are you sure it wasn't an M 85/2? If I'm not mistaken, I think all the other lenses were M versions.

This was a very nice set with a black K2 and six lenses, including an 85mm f/1.8.

I was the high bidder until one minute before the end of the auction. The winner was a dealer, so watch for the individual items to re-appear on eBay. I suspect he overpaid, however. The items besides the 85mm are probably not worth more than $600 sold separately. The 85mm sells for about $300, but even that won't give him much profit for all the trouble he's going to.
