Great comparison - I was lucky to find a good K 85/1.8 some time ago.

Anyone compared the Pentax K 85/1.8 with the A*85?

Super Multi Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4 with original case + front and rear caps and fitted with UV filter. This is the version with all metal focusing ring.

Excellent condition - optics are clear, free of fungus with no scratches; focusing is smooth.

£75 (includes recorded delivery in the UK). Happy to send overseas but will need to quote for additional postage cost.

Price seems reasonable - I paid £280 for a K 85mm f1.8 a few months back.

Nice - I have the K 135mm f2.5 but was thinking it might be worth also trying the K 135mm f3.5, which is allegedly better than the M version.

Anyone tried a direct comparison of the SMC K 135mm f3.5, SMC K 135mm f2.5 and the SMC M 135mm f3.5 :

Hi, I'm contemplating making the jump from my *ist DS to a K-5 II. Although I do have a few autofucuss lenses I tend to use a lot of the older manual focus lenses such as the 30mm/2.8, 55mm/1.8 and 85mm/1.8. I've read elewhere on the web that manual focusing can be a bit hit and miss with the standard focusing screen on the K-5 II. It has been suggested that a EE-S screen gives a significant advantage in manual focusing. I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
Rowdy
