I like this lens very much. I have looked for it often on Ebay but I could only find it in the USA.

After your CZ you don't need really Orio any other lens. You are already top equipped as well.

Very nice. I have this beautiful lens and have produced nice pictures, but definitely not as nice as yours. I am missing a hood on this one. And it's almost impossible to find just the hood on ebay nowadays as I prefer the original metal hood than the rubber ones.

I got lucky. I won an auction with original hoods for 85, 105, 200 with bags for 10£. I lacked all three too. The only hoods I lack now is for the 35mm and the 20mm.

10£, that's almost stealing Smile If you feel bad, send the 85 my way.

That first one is superb. I think this may be better than the 1.8?

It's really hard to say really. I mean, sure, the coatings do add some protection in harsh conditions. However I find that not that big of a problem. The 1.8 Auto-Takumar is incredibly sharp. Might be a bit sharper then the 1.9. However, wide open, there is some cyan fringing(?) with the 1.8. I like both lenses and they have different personalities and I don't think I can say one is a winner over the other.

Here is a 1.8 shot towards the sun today. Sure the 1.9 might have handeled the flare at the top better. But on the other hand, I would probably have lost those sexy diagonal lines too.
