Size is a good thing. Size made my also buy the M 135/3.5 and the F 35-70 3,5-4,5
Hi Cloapex,
Yes, that's a good price for the M85 f/2.0. Depending upon the condition, they're usually $200-$300 on eBay, when they come up, which isn't often. Right now there's two on the 'bay, both from Germany, both over $300. So, if it's clean and functioning properly, grab it!
Oh, you'll be pleased to know it uses 49mm filters, same as the two lenses you now have. In M series, the 28mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.8, all the 50mm's, 85mm, 100mm f/2.8, 135mm f/3.5, all take 49mm filters. Very handy!
