Does anybody have experience in comparing these two?
In general, from what I have read, the 85/1.9 is regarded bit less than it's f1.8 cousins.
But Taks 85/1.8 and K85/1.8 are regarded better than M85/2.
So how do these two "underdogs" compare?
Which is better? (sharpness, contrast)

TIA
Peter

I don't know about optics as such as I never owned any of 28-80 zooms, but in general one BIG advantage of Pentax lens over say Tamron will be SMC.
Those coatings are pretty good, and make a lot of 3rd party lenses look pretty bad in flare control IMO.

I think I saw an A 50mm f1.2 approaching £200 recently, I'd be amazed if anyone got the K series for much less.

In both series they would have been a rare lens. The K 50mm f1.4 would have been the standard 50mm in that series, in the A series the f2/1.7/1.4 would have sold in far greater numbers.
wow,

I thought they were more!
If I'd find one for that price, I'd probably buy it straight away...
anybody selling ???

How much do they (K50/1.2 or A50/1.2) go for in the UK?
I know they are hard to come by, but if.. what would be normal price to be expected?
