I bought a Pentax SMC-M 85mm f2.0 lens 20 months ago and tried it for the first time today ( I know, the buy/try delay is very long!).
Anyway, its very sharp stopped down a little bit, excellent contrast, no distortion, little if any CA, but damn the bokeh looks like crap to me. I wouldnt wan't to use this for any bokeh dominant type pix... I havent read or heard this anywhere. Whats the concensus? I have posted a photo shot wide open, look at the background and tell me what you think? I even noticed some specular highlights can create ring like bokeh found on mirror lenses (not seen in this photo) which was pretty shocking. http://www.jchriso.com/temp/85MM01.jpg pentax smc-m f2.0 at F2.0, 1/4000 sec on istDS body.
