I can say that the A85mm f1.4 is sharper, but the size frightens small
children and dogs, not to mention the relatives you might want
candid portraits of.
You mean dogs bark at the f1.4 lens but keep quiet when you shoot
them with the f2 lens?
Does the front element makes it? I mean,

No, they all hide in the corner when the f1.4 comes out. ;-)

camera be fine while a 85/1.4 on a

The A85/1.4 hood is monstrous also, but with a cooler shade, the lens
is not that frightening I think. A nice hood I found for it is the
one for the Hexanon 85-210/3.5. I can even reverse

This is why the people skills of a photographer are very important for
things like wedding photography. Every bride has a concept of what a
bride should look like, but doesn't realize that the marketed bride
image is that of professional models.

Knowing your veneration to professional everything... did you get a

Where I find 100mm too long is shooting something like a wedding
reception, which I've done 3 times now. Inside, there is a significant
chance that some guest will pop into the foreground. Outside, the
100 works well. I just shot a wedding this weekend, and slapped on
the A35-70mm f4 because
Hi
I own both the 2.0/85 and the 2.8/105. Nither of them are very good
(sharpness/resolution) and I hardly ever use them. I guess my best portrait
lenses are Tokina Pro II 2.6-2.8/28-70mm (sharp) and the latest (repurchased
recently - off ebay/USA) the K2.5/135mm.

Jens

No matter how good the sample is, it simply cannot exceed the performance
that its designers bestowed on it. The 'on-paper' design is the best it can
be, manufacturing tolerances or wear-and-tear will always move the lens to a
lower performance level.

Hi, Carlos.
Probably the M 85 mm. f:2 is an excellent choice for portraits.
The M 85/2 is a pretty good portrait lens, despite its unpretentious
seeming design, and is the most economical Pentax K-mount 85.
The lens I use the most for portraits is a K 85 mm. 1.8 and I love
it. [and] The
K85/1.8

I find my M100 f2.8 to be a tad long in many portrait situations,
and am pondering the purchase of an 85mm.
The cheapest is probably the M85 f2. I expect I'd find it
good enough since I'm
