Fast Rangefinder 85mm Lenses

[raid amin]

I wonder what your experiences are with the Canon 85mm/1.5 RF lens, as compared to other 85mm lenses you have used. I just bought a 85mm/1.5 lens [still in the mail], and I am impatient. I know that a comparable lens might be the Summarex and also the Helios 85mm/1.5.

That must be a real GUN Raid...

Not really; it is a heavy lens but it is OK for handheld photography.

How about the Zeiss ZM Sonnar 85mm f2?

Rob Skeoch has one in stock (its on the north side of $2100).

Tom,
That would be outside by budget constraints.
