These samples are shot by Mitakon 35/2, not 85/2. but the 85/2 lens is more sharper than this lens at wide-open.

I will post some samples shot by 85/2 this evening for you. I can also provide machine-direct jpgs to you if you want to see.

Eagerly waiting for more 2/85mm samples Romil.

I'm also looking forward to the samples. Might be interested in a copy of both, especially if they are silver and the price is right! Can't see any on ebay yet.

35mm f2? Could you show a photo of the lens? Where can I find some info about it?
Thanks

More than I would pay but someone might be interested?

I was interested at the original rate of 80$ for the 85mm - if it turns out to be too expensive I'll just drop the idea.

150mm makes it a bit more doubtful esp since I already have a nice SMC 35mm F2 with me.

125$ for the 85mm does make it more interesting though.

Is this the same lens? Click here to see on Ebay

He's sold one, and got negative feedback for not sending the item and "being angry"

Good point. 150$ is still above my budget when I can buy a better known Jupiter. Maybe 100$ Smile

I think the potential is there to get them for under $100, just not from whoever this guy is!

There's hasn't been much real news for a while....

I agree. Maybe I should get in touch with someone from China who can get this lens and ship it out. I wish dealextreme would get this Very Happy

Here's another seller http://cgi.ebay.com/MF-85mm-f2-0-Prime-Lens-Portrait-Lens-Pentax-PK-A-mount-/170543539737?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item27b52fe619&afsrc=1 $125 shipped. A few people on Pentaxforums.com have bought these and I'm waiting for their shots.

I'm sorry to be a spoilsport here, but don't you guys look at the appearance of a lens? I think this lens, at least the black version I have seen, is downright ugly! Sorry, my personal view.
No way I would buy such an ugly lens with such a, well, "restricted" performance at such a price. My 2c.

You can get a nice J9 or, if you are patient, even perhaps a Nikkor-H 1.8/85 for that money. (I did.) And both lenses are much better than what I have seen here.

It's ugly, that for sure. It reminds of the cheap Japanese-made lenses from the 80's (Porst, Chinon et al). There's not much joy in owning this lens, other than for the low price.

Oh, IMHO those were much more attractive!

This 80mm lens reminds me of some plastic enlarger lenses...
Just like this one:

Well, the lens is designed for the local Chinese market. However, it does offer a different view on things, with a unique combination of extreme, out-of-control field curvature, smooth rendering and good color and contrast. I have Jupiter-9 and Nikkor 85/1.8 among others, and this lens does not resemble either of them even remotely.

It seems very much like a toy, but the price isn't for kids.

I don't have many pictures taken with this lens. Every time I go out with a camera, I grab a Sonnar 85/2.8 or Zuiko 85/2; those two are currently my favorite 85mm. I have one shot of my daughter taken indoors with this lens. It does show the character of the lens pretty well. Note how her eyes are in focus, and the red ring on the bottom is in focus as well. That's field curvature.
