Hi there,
I have 3 lenses from your list: 85mm f1.8, 20mm f4 and finally 135mm f2.5.
135mm 2.5 is ready for sale, other two I will probably keep......although thinking of letting 20mm go i i find somewhere good copy of FA 20-35. I am based in Prague, Czech Rep. Let me know if you're interested in 135/2.5. Cheers. Martin

I second that....this lens is optically beautiful. Hidden gem in Pentax lineup...maybe one day it will have cult status like those beautiful Super-Takumar 50s

I agree with LennyBloke....especially on FA20-35. It was a late addition to FA zoom family....but that lens is amazing. Really lightweight and compact. It is about the size of FA31 limited (without hood) and I think it is even lighter. Focus is super quick but loud. Its imited range is still quite okay for street photography and landscapes. The image quality is great, especially on wider end.....great lens.
Only downside is that you have to be very careful with it, as its polycarbonate body is quite fragile.

depends...i have one myself, gave to a friend who starts with photography alongside my old k10d....it is very unpredictable in regards of focusing.....sort of moody. Sometimes it focuses well even in low light, sometimes it hunts - that keeps me puzzled. Optically it is quite good lens. If you find one for a good price, consider it. I wouldn't buy it again, but then....i now have primes covering all i need. When I bought it it served me well though, i even shot 3 wedings with it (and with primes)

that's cool effort......having in mind how valuable even the simple family photos become after some years, capturing moments of one's life.....thumbs up Ricoh, for saving some of those 'memories' and returning them to people...
