Hi Bruce,
Thanks a lot for your positive comment!
The 77mm really is ideal for this kind or work.

With the SMC Takumar lenses, a Spotmatic F can meter at open aperture.
That means you can focus and get your meter reading without having to
stop down the lens manually. You just meter, focus, and shoot. With
earlier Super Takumar lenses, you have to push a switch that stops the
lens down in order

For one you need to use SMC Takumars so you can meter wide open instead of
stopped down if you use older Super Takumar lenses. I have an "F" but like

I used the 55/1.8 for a while its a excellent lense, the SMC50/1.4 is also
excellent. I would assume that the 85mm is good, as the SMC version is the
same optically as the K85/1.8?

As Alan noted, it has gotten consistently good reviews. In January I
took two MZ-S's to Mali, one with the FA 24-90 and the other with the
Tamrom 24-135. The Tamron images are sharp and the lens is versatile. To
my eye, the images taken with the FA 24-90 have better contrast and are
a bit sharper.
