The lens did win "Zoom lens of the Year" not so long ago...

Lovely images, I ought to use my 50-135mm more. Were they both shot wide open?
Best wishes, Kris.

I think sorted78 has made sensible comments. I, personally, would not sell the M85 unless it was to get the K or A* versions... In the end, it depends on what you think you are going to use it for.

If it works with the K10D it'll work with any Pentax dSLR.flat4 wrote:
A Makinon MC 135/2,8 prime manual lens. I was really stunned when testing it. A great bokeh, sharp wide open with beautiful contrast and colour tone. Although this isn't really a pentax made lens I would be really happy if someone would share some information about this lens with me.
I guess that lens coating makes the difference in colour tones as I had the same settings set on my K200D?
Did you use the makinon lens on the K200? I have an old Auto Makinon 135mm f/2.8 Macro , I know it works with the k10d but i could not find any to buy so I wondered if it works with the K200D, If it does, do I need some sort of mount?A Makinon MC 135/2,8 prime manual lens.

I think Don has one. There are a few on ebay but generally for more than this one.

Linear PLs work perfectly well on Pentax cameras.
I'm curious as to what the problem with the LX in manual mode is? Largely because I am a LX user that often uses a polariser, although I think all mine are circular. I often wondered if circular ones were less effective as I remember how much difference the linear one made with my ME Super back in the day.ChrisPlatt wrote:
Whenever possible I prefer to use linear polarizers for their more pronounced effect.
A linear polarizer will cause erroneous readings on a Pentax LX in manual mode.

Well done! I thought I was the only person around here who knew that Whenever possible I prefer to use linear polarizers for their more pronounced effect.

That's an amazing picture, I can't remember ever seeing a spider's web, either for real or in a picture, with such a sturdy construction. You must have been really close to get it looking as if it were knitted. The colour of the foliage is also impressive.

I was at the minimum focus range of the M100/2.8 which is one meter. I was slowly rocking back and forth trying to make sure the central circle of the web was sharp.That's an amazing picture, I can't remember ever seeing a spider's web, either for real or in a picture, with such a sturdy construction.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I'll admit to being rather pleased with it!

The main thing I miss when using film v. digital is the ability to change ISO easily. I sort of get around that by having too many film bodies!
