For me this is the best manual Canon 85mm. I also own the famous FD 85mm f/1.2 L, the FD 85mm f/1.8 S.S.C. and the new FD 85mm f/1.8 but still prefer the old FL for it's buttery smooth bokeh and flattering rendering of skin, wide open. The lens is a direct descendant of the highly regarded Canon rangefinder 85mm f/1.8 and shares the same optical formula. You don't see them much but if you get a chance, grab it.
