I guess, what I want to know is, those are that expensive simply because
they have collectible status, or because they blow away all the competition?

Sounds like a good month, Mishka !!!
Time to take the new glass out for some refractive therapy (good for
them and good for you - ).

A US website listed a K28/2, same condition, same price, once in 1999,
again in 2000. Each time, I discovered it a few day after the lens was sold.
I also missed one in Finland.
I finally found one on a Kansas site for about $260. It's still the
costliest lens I own below 200mm.
I just discov

I never could understand why people pay so much for these, except the
consumerism and lust factor. I mean, the 1.8/85 is great lens (the
very similar or same Zeiss/Zeiss Jena design is great) but a lens designed
mainly for wide open performance with use of advanced glass types like
the 1.2 or 1.4
Wasn't Canon lens a f/0.95 and not f/0.79? I'm pretty sure it was.

The K85/1.8 is very rare and sought after both as user and collectable.
Optically, it is the same as the SMC Takumar. It is a sup

I was fortunate enough to be able to find some of the "toughies" you
mentioned (A* 135/1.8, A* 85/1.4, K 85/1.8) before they (rece
Paul,
I think Mishka asked the right question about cost and availability. The K
85/1.8 is one of the most expensive and rare Pentax 35mm lenses. The other
two are the A*135/1.8 and the A*85/1.4. You just can't find them, or when
you do, they are outrageously expensive.
