The price on the 200/2.5 is extraordinary but at least if the copy is to believed it's not damaged. > For a $1,000 cant you buy a new Pentax or even Nikon 85mm 1.4, but of > course the scratched rear element you would have to do yourself, which > could be tricky... Sure you can buy the current FA*85/1.4 but it has a very different character to the A*85/1.4, it's a totally new formulation which seems biased more to close in portraiture. You either love it or hate it, the A*85/14 is very difficult not to like :-) > Mind you, perhaps this is the way old kit prices are gonna go over the > next few decades. Nice investments. I never view photo kit as an investment, then I'm far less disappointed.
