Hi Kevin, The 'Buy-It-Now' price is �675. The bid is (currently) �400. This lens is, of course, the A*85mm and no longer in production. To buy a new Pentax 85mm 1.4, it would be the FA* 85mm 1.4 (not sure of the exact nomenclature) which I am not sure is even in production anymore? Or the 77 f/1.8 Ltd at about �600. Ask folk on this list for opinions on all the above lenses and you'll get a variety of responses (he wrote, puffing up his own sale <g>). I have had to breathe deep before considering this lens for sale, it is by far the nicest lens I have ever used. In fact I would go so far as to say that if anyone ever had to oin me down and say if there was ONE camera and ONE lens you could save from a burning house, or one combo that you could only take to a desert island for eternity, it would be the LX and A*85mm f/1.4 without doubt. <end commercial> Cheers!
