In M42, the 85mm F1.8 SMCT is the one
to get but it sells for about $200-300
used.

Subject: Re: Four lenses
It occurs to me, I've never had an 80 or 85mm lens!
I jump from 55mm to 105mm (beautiful little SMC Takumar f/2.8...) and up.
I think I'll start reviewing the reports on which is recommended and go
looking for one!
Unless there are recommendations from the list...
Thanks, Clive!
