We can see the OP's pictures, Ismo, my pictures, and your pictures on Flickr - they back up the test charts.

$225 USD plus postage and you can have mine.

With your passion and faith in it, I'm sure you'll be able to convince people to buy it for way more, and you're up on the deal.

Just don't show them objective test results, of course, show 'em post processed pics! :)

Iheiramo, just look at the numbers for the M85, and look at those of the other lenses, that's it. Take your time.

No need to overcomplicate, because it's very simple. That lens is just about the poorest in the entire test range across all focal lengths, with shocking numbers wide open, and still behind when stopped down.

Well, I'd love to trade it for a K85 plus some cash, Tom, but the amount? Reckon I've hurt my bargaining position with my own data! :D

Why did you not also go to:

http://www.takinami.com/yoshihiko/photo/lens_test/pentax_35.html

I get it, you like this little lens, but ignoring the facts presented does you no credit, @Iheiramo!

When I go out with the K28 f3.5, K55 f1.8 and M85 f2, it is clearly the weakest link in the trio.

Yeah, Takinami found it to be just about the second weakest prime in the whole Pentax lineup. His tests covered most of the K, M, A, F and FA series.

It's relatively cheap, and it's small, but I probably regret buying it now. I have pics in the Lens Club.

Thanks for the pics, Khoa.

I own one myself and I've found it to not be a sharp or contrasty lens - perhaps the more expensive K85mm f1.8 is better.

But you've taken beautiful pictures of a beautiful day! :)
