(This message is a repost, since I got an error back last time) Hi, I just got the opportunity to buy one or both of these lenses (A* 85/1.4 and A* 135/1.8). As far as I've read and heard, these two are legendary performers from the manual product range. They appear to be somewhat rare, so I would rather not miss out on the opportunity to buy them. I haven't seen them being offered anywhere the past few years, at least not anywhere near where I live (Amsterdam).
The only thing is their price. The 85/1.4 goes for around $1000, the 135/1.8 for $2000. Apart from their specs, rarity, and the fact that they are somewhat a collector's item, are they worth anywhere near these prices? And is their 'status' overrated? Hope to hear some of your thoughts on these two lenses, would hate to spend $3000 if it's not worth it. Thanks.
