Sorry - I was bored, it's snowing here in the UK and we can't cope with it

Portrait heaven I would say.

Excuse me, while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.

That's a whole lot of Pentax goodness! I have the S-M-C 85/1.8, which I acquired in a Spotmatic/4-lens basket at a thrift shop several years ago.

As for your weather and boredom, may I prescribe several hours listening to The Shipping Forecast?

Weather here is minus 1 C and cloudy. We've been enjoying unseasonably mild temperatures, and our snow is melting nicely. (Sorry).

Nice kit. Are the FA 85mm and FA 77mm the best ones by far, or are there any surprises?

Assuming I've picked the correct lenses and taking the average prices in the lens database,

5 x 85 + 77 = ~$3600

Can you do a comparative review?

I was going to say the average cost of each lens but Brian proves that my calculations are quite a bit short.
And if you add the pride and enjoyment of owning a set like that, much closer to priceless. ( :

I would suggest the A*85/1.4 would hold its own against the other two. The K85/1.8 is no slouch either.

Gorgeous collection!
