It's a K lens Don. The M 85, which is much less expensive, is an 85/2. My SMCT version went for $270 a few months ago.

Actually, having had a "taste" of what this lens can do
by using the ST 85/1.9, and having heard past prices,
I was amazed it lasted almost 10 hours.
I wouldn't have paid that much for the M version when
I could get the SMCT for much less.
I don't find stop down operation much of a bother,
you have to close the aperture but DON'T have to hit
the "Green Button" on the D, six one, half dozen the other.
I WOULD give that much in a *heartbeat* for an A, F or FA
version, if it was nearly as good!
