Lovely bit of glass. For a while after I'd decided that I wanted something more modern than the Spotmatic F, I was looking for an equivalent lens in a modern bayonet mount, and when I found one, I was going to switch to whatever system it fitted. Then I found out about the SMCP-A* 85/1.4, and a little later managed to score one, so I've stayed with Pentax. What do you mean by "Not full portrait", incidentally? I agree an 85mm is not much good for full-length portraits, but those are usually unfortunately long and narrow pictures anyway, and I prefer not to take them much. --- John Dallman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
