ultimate portrait lens collection ?
Best regards
There has been some discussion about a second hand one of these at Cash Converters ( http://webshop.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/442723/pentax-55mm-lens- ) for £359 - a really good price - if you can establish whether they would accept a return if you weren't happy then it could turn out to be a brilliant buy.
I find 85 a better length for my type of portraiture, but the 55 has a lot going for it. I would definitely recommend it
To me, think of it this way:
A*85 @ f/1.8 (stopped down) = Fa77 @ 1.8
Stopping down the A*85 to f/1.8 also reduces the PF and whatnots... LoL! Imagine, manual only Fa77.. That's all..
Though not sure how the Fa77 will compare wide open to an A*85 stopped down to f/1.8
What're you planning to do? Sell them off?

Each brother has his own unique character, the FA* 85 is probably my favourite, but any of the others can give him a run for his money in the right situation. The A* is up for sale and one of the others will probably join him soon
