Unfortunately, Minolta 85 f1.4 is around $450, and Samyang seems a bit heavy.
Thank you so far.
Mogul was talking about the Minolta Limited, which I've seen go for $3-4k.
You might be able to find a Minolta MD 85/2 around your budget, and it has a good reputation for sharpness (I've never used it). Ditto the Nikon AIS 85/2.
Of those I've used, Oly OM has a very small 85/2 that's center sharp, but the bokeh isn't great and flare can be a real problem. Their much more expensive 90/2 Macro is a better lens in every way. The Canon FD 85/1.8's sharp enough wide open but there may be too much lateral CA for your liking. If you're willing to lose a stop, you can probably find a C/Y Zeiss Sonnar 85/2.8 around your budget. It's very good wide open.
