Hello again, A week ago I asked for input regarding the 105/2.5 AIS and the 85mm/1.8 AF and I got lots of replies. I had decided to go with the 105/2.5 (mostly because I am using an FM2) when I came across a used 85mm/1.8 MF. In the past I've heard good things about this hard to find lens (unlike the 85mm/2 AI that followed when the 85mm/1.8 was discontinued). Since it costs more than a new 105/2.5 I thought I'd get ask the list for some comments about it. The extra 1stop is really tempting but I wonder how the quality of this lens is. Also, is it difficult to get a shade for it? Thanks again, Pascal
