    Overview

    The Mamiya Sekor SX 85mm f/1.7 is a rare M42-mount lens appreciated for its sharpness and character. User stevemark notes it delivers tack-sharp images at f/5.6 and pleasing results at f/1.7, with good color rendition. Build quality is typical of Mamiya SX series, though the aperture ring may require modification for full M42 compatibility (iangreenhalgh1). It suits photographers seeking a fast portrait lens with classic rendering, especially on mirrorless cameras via adapter.
