The other 85/1.4 MF lens for multiple mounts will be cheaper.

Just get a 85/2 Russian Sonnar in LTM. (1950's version may be Zeiss glass and other parts)

Indeed many of the early Soviet photographic pieces were made with genuine Zeiss parts.

There is a similar Sigma in just every popular lens mount. There is also a much cheaper MF Samyang/Bower/etc. Both razor-sharp.
