>Wow. The DOF is lovely! I want! I want! Want to sell your copy?? :) No, I think I plan on keeping this one. (I owned one earlier in my gear acquisition phase and sold it to pay for other purchases). It does make expendable a couple of other 85mm f1.8 lenses that I have. One is the highly respected (and relatively scarce) Tele Vivitar 85mm f1.8 preset. It is a T-mount lens and the T-mount I purchased for it must be the wrong one because it does not allow infinity focusing. The other is a Y/S (Sigma made) Spiratone 85mm f1.8 that can only be used for shallow DOF (wide open) since the aperture blades don't stop down. I do plan to sell both of those, at some point.
