I have three MF 85s.
The Canon FD 85mm 1.8 (New FD version) is light and compact, suffers a bit with longitudinal CA (purple-green) fringing at wider apertures. Cheapest of the three.
The FD 85mm f/1.2L is gorgeous and amazing, but heavy and pricey these days. My go-to 85.
If you can live with a slower lens the CY mount Contax 85mm f/2.8 renders beautifully. Price wise it's in the middle.
Of the three the FD 85/1.8 is affordable and good VFM.
