85mm is indeed slightly longer than 77mm, but the FA* 85/1.4 is ~less~ than an 85mm lens at closer focus distances, so that the difference between the autofocus 85/1.4 and the 77/1.8 might be smaller than the FL numbers suggest (unless the 77/1.8 also shows the same close-focus FL effect - what sort of focusing does the 77/1.8 use?).
