Hi Arnold
Impressive work you've done. I just made simple portrait shots in B/W with
some above 80mm lenses - they all looked alike - except for the
SMCF70-210mm, which seemed to beat both the M2.0/85mm, the K105, and A135mm
(unfortunately I dont have a A*1.4/85mm) as far as sharpness is concerned.
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

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

recently - off ebay/USA) the K2.5/135mm.
Regards
Jens

Hi, Carlos.

The M 85/2 is a pretty good portrait lens, despite its unpretentious
seeming design, and is the most economical Pentax K-mount 85.
