Dave, I bought 43 Ltd and 77 Ltd from fellow PDMLer last year... They are quite *amazing*. Suffices to say, I've put my FA 50/1.7 to the shelf and haven't really touched it since I first looked at the picture from 43 Ltd. The 77 Ltd is well worth every penny I spent on it. Have a look here:

I've paid $140 for new FA 50/1.7 back 4 years ago. I've paid $320 for 43 Ltd, and I consider it a steal. -- Boris
