The A100/2.8 goes < $200 on eBay. There's one from GB listd right now. It's just a
little long, but still very good for bust shots. And the contrasty A coatings help.
Interestingly, M100/2.8 lenses, with slightly warmer coatings, have

Seconded, though it's widest aperture is f4. Only came out of my bag
when I bought the more versatile and AF F70-210. However, the 75-150
is light and short
You may also take a look at the 90mm macro lenses out there.

Take a look at the Pentax M 75~150 Zoom. I don't care much for it except
as a portrait lens. You might get one fairly inexpensively. Jupiter lenses
are a pretty good buy, IMO, having used a couple on the Leica.
Expectations are such that an M42 version would be comparable. There were
lots of M4
I use it on my ist-D and it works great.
(BTW: There was one on eBay yesterday, I won't post the URL due to
PDML "suggestions".) ;-)

You might look for an M42 Super Takumar 85/1.9. It's more affordable
than the M42 SMC Tak 85/1.8, yet it's quite good. Far superior, I would
guess, to any of the very early M39 lenses.

I've been looking for a while at getting a portrait
lens in the 70-85 range. The A85/1.4 is prohibitively
expensive, the K85/1.8 is also out there, and even the
"lowly" M85/2 tends to go for more than I can swing at
this point.
I occasionally see M42 and M39 lenses in this range on
ebay, some Zei
