Maciej, It is a fine lens and a steal at the price you mentioned. I used it for many years for indoor family portraits and outdoor people shots. It is remarkably small and easy to handle. The f 2.0 aperture makes indoor, low light focusing very easy.
Some have complained that it is not Pentax's sharpest lens. I noticed it was not as sharp as the A100/2.8 Macro. It is probably not as sharp as the M135/3.5, but this is difficult to tell. If you are shooting indoor, casual portraits, then you are often shooting wide open. Camera shake and critical focus become your real enemies for sharp photos. The results with the M85/2.0 are very pleasing. Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << This lens is about to show up in a local camera shop (the previous owner said he will bring it soon). I don't know it's condition yet but the price is going to be about USD 130. How do you judge this lens? I would like to use it mainly for portraits and somebody shots from time to time. Now I have a 50 and 135mm and the latter is a bit to long for indoor shots. OTH my 35-80/4-5.6 zoom is a bit to slow, and it forces to much DOF. So this focal length would fill the gap nicely but I'm curious about it's performance. >> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
