I have tried older FA*85/1,4 on K-3III as well as on K-3 monochrome (debayered) sensor.
Probably 85 mm on crop is not the best choice for portrait because communication between photographer and model is already difficult due to distance.
In any other optical aspect DFA* 85/1.4 is perfect lens.

Hi Medex,
I thought I replied to this post, but I don't see it here. Your advice about being closer to the subject is very good. I appreciate everything you have told me about the 85, and appreciate your examples of what the 50 can do. Thanks to you and to some others who have helped me, I have purchased the HD Pentax-D FA* 50mm F1.4 SDM AW. If you have any advice on how best to adapt this lens to my K3 iii crop camera, please share.
Cheers,
Loyd
