Thanks for the info. I search eBay all the time, and it appears that different results show up every day I search eBay. I searched for these keywords on completed auctions, and got no results.. But I found an active auction just a couple of days ago on another lens, that I can't find anymore as well. Very strange.
I think I'll go for the 85/1.4, and wait for a better chance on the 135/1.8. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of syb vis Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 10:23 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: A* 85/1.4, A* 135/1.8 These two lenses recently sold on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280126275395&ssPag eName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018 and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280126275406&ssPag eName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018 2007/8/7, Kamiel Wanrooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Well thanks guys :-( I can say goodbye to my savings money now for sure.. > ;-) > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob > W > Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 8:26 PM > To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' > Subject: RE: A* 85/1.4, A* 135/1.8 > > I had both the 85/1.4 and the 135/1.8 and they are both excellent > lenses.
