I got my 85mm 1.7 MD new, in 1983, so I have the dedicated hood that came with it. I had wanted an 85 for awhile and it has been my favorite lens the whole time I've had it. I think it was discontinued soon after that, replaced by the much more compact 85mm 2.0.
Though it doesn't carry the designation in the name, it is a PF lens (5 groups/6 elements), probably the same as previous versions.
