It's $249 at Amazon.
I am *very* aware of this lens. Particlarly since my Bowers/Rokinon/Samyang 8/3.5 has turned out to be such a surprise gem. And while $249 is almost free, it's not quite free, and there are other places to spend my money that will make a bigger difference, especially since the MF 84/1.4 won't give me a lot that I don't already get with my 77/1.8. No Walt, I won't give you my 77ltd so that I have an excuse to by the 85/1.4. I've also been looking at some of the other 85/1.4 lenses out there, which do have autofocus. Does anyone know how the Sigma 85/1.4 compares optically with the Korean 85/1.4? -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
