$900 wont do it now. the A85 F1.4 and A135 F1.8 both sell around $1500 on ebay. Back in '87 these sold new for around $450. I havent seen that many on ebay lately my ebay price data is from a year ago.

I don't think it really returns that much value. It's a collectible. I wouldn't be surprised if a DA* 50-135/2.8 is sharper at f4. Of course the extra stop + is worth something, particularly for low-light concert pics or shots where truly minimal DOF is desirable, but you're giving up autofocus as well. An A* 135/1.8 would not be a practical buy for most.
