@DeadJohn, I intend to get the 14mm SamYang for landscapes. However from all sample images I have seen I do want to purchase the Super Takumar 85mm mainly for portraits. It's the overall rendering of the images and the bokeh characteristics I like from this lens.
@ Interested_Observer, Thanks for the detailed information and links regarding these lenses. You do make good arguments with the Pentax bodies in regards to these lenses, however I really need to keep my "gear acquisition syndrome" in check!

Hello,
After reading about these lenses and looking at a lot of them I thought it's best to register here for some user advise and info.
I want to purchase a Super Takumar 85mm lens for my Canon 6D(I hope this is not blasphemy here!) but have some questions:
1. Should I get the 85mm 1.8 or the 1.9?
2. What is the actual difference between the two(besides the obvious) in build and use or options?
3. The 1.8 is reviewed slightly better then the 1.9. But is this really obvious in real life usage?
4. Anyone using these M42 lenses on other modern brand camera's, what is the best mounting adapter available?
5. Where is the best place to search and buy these lenses, besides Ebay with overinflated prices for these lenses.
Any help is really appreciated.
