> Sorry to hear you sold your K 85/1.8. Thanks for your condolences, Jose. <sniff> (<g>) Well, I'll somehow manege to "get by with my A* 85/1.4... (<g>) (And, if desired, I can still use the FA* 85/1,4, which is now my wife's lens, and I'm still having some fun with the Kenko 85/2.5 Soft, too.) And, if a K 85/1.8 ever "fell into my hands" again, I probably would keep it - <g>.

Well, I've remarked previously here on the PDML that I will only give up the A* 85/1.4 when it is pried from my cold, dead fingers... (<g>) > It is just too difficult to find. Yes. And, it certainly is worth finding. I've tried a number of 85mm lenses, and the K 85/1.8 is my second favorite (out of almost ten 85's that I've had the pleasure of using). > When I do finally purchase an autofocus camera, I will then save > up for a FA 77/1.8, FA 43/1.9, FA 31/1.8, and the new rumored > Limited telephoto. Well, there's a lot to be said for continuing to use good manual focus lenses on good autofocus bodies (using the "focus confirmation" feature, or sometimes even the "trap focus" feature, although I have not tried that just yet). And, some of the autofocus lenses do pretty well on manual focus bodies, too. Your K 85/1,8 will hopefully see a lot of action for a long time into the future... Fred
