Posts: 161 | I could let my minty K85 go at that price. I don't think that will ever happen in N.A. where supply is a bit greater than Aus or Euro. |

Posts: 1,017 | I can't understand the fuss over the K 85/1.8 lens. I had one for awhile and was not particularly impressed. I prefer the SMC Pentax-M 100/2.8 I currently own. And it's not the difference in focal length. When I used Nikon I preferred their 85/1.8 to the "legendary" 105/2.5 Nikkor... Chris |

| Pentaxian | I wouold rather take a K20 At the price of that lens, (which I would love to have to go along with my K50F1.4 and K135F2.5) I can think of better ways to spend $1100 including a K20D! Do I want a K85 F1.8 yes, do I want it that badly NO WAY |

You can sometimes find them cheaper, but when you're bothering to buy Takumars, it's nice to get them minty, so they keep that "limited" feel/look  . |

| Site Supporter | I had been watching for a K 85mm at a decent price, but it never happened. Instead I ended up with an old Vivitar T mount 85mm f1.8. It's great stopped down, but open has such crazy bokeh and softness it's actually hard to focus. I end up stopping down to 4 in order to get things sharp, and then opening back up at times. I would definitely be able to let it go for a grand... :-) Last edited by Nick Siebers; 08-26-2008 at 10:07 PM. |

There is not much left except to rummage through the junk bin and sell anything that fits a pentax Yes there are those who trade up slowly, as can be seen on Ebay and in the market place, but prices are getting out of hand, |

if 35/2's taks are going for nearly the same price as FA35's, something is definetly screwed in the system |
