One thing was the lack of sharpness of the 85 wide open, worse was the fact that you need to stop the lens down to F:4 to get acceptable, but nothing to write home about, results. It wasn't really razor sharp until F:8 at infinity distances. In my opinion the 85/1.4 is not a great choice for low-light landscape. The 77 Limited is basically sharp at all apertures although it's hard to focus near infinity mark due to the fact that it focuses past infinity and the small error margins at such narrow DOF. The 77 also has a bokeh to die for... Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
