I have both of those, I paid quite a bit less for the K 135 f2.5 and a
bit more for the M 85mm f2.0 They are easily worth the money asked if
they're in good condition. I use the 85mm in low light a lot, so I'm
often shooting wide open in low light, in Av mode so I don't miss the
lens having an A setting.

Only $300 or so. A steal comparatively. If I had $300, i would buy
this right now. In fact, I've been waiting for one to show up. Same
goes for the 85 f2 that is listed there. Dammit, why must the rarer
lenses on my wishlist only seemingly appear when I am broke?

Darren, I'd sell it when they unwrap my cold dead fingers from around it !
It one of the lenses I'll never sell as long as I'm on this side of the
grass & I'm still shooting Pentax.
It was actually recommended to me by a Nikon pro when I was taking a
workshop from him and he saw I was shooting Pentax. When I did get it and
went to another of his workshop he had to borrow and examine it as he had
heard it was equal to or better than the Nikon 200 macro he was using. Quite
a recommendation I'd say.
In my estimation I'd have to say its worth as much or more than the A* 135
because of its unique function - macro with working distance.

but can the 1.8 be that much better than a 2.8?

Ah, but I can ask because I have one, bought around 15 years ago for
