I certainly love my FA* 85mm f/1.4. I mostly shoot at portrait distances. For infinity use, I either use much shorter focal lengths, or much longer focal lengths. For street photography, it's not a stealth lens. Especially with the hood on it.

A third question might be "Do I want a big honking lens?". The A* has a collector premium involved as well...seems to me the FA gets the most bang for the buck, though Pal says it's not so good at infinity. Personally, I love it. tv - - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
