Heiko, Certainly the price is great. I have the FA *24/2.0 and the FA 35/2.0. I think that they are very different lenses and I would keep both. In fact, I sold my FA 20/2.8 and 28/2.8 in favor of keeping those first two (needed money for 67 glass).
I also have both the FA *85/1.4 and the FA 100/2.8 macro lens. Again, I don't consider them to be at all the same kind of lens. The 85 is a MUCH better portrait lens and the 100 macro is MUCH better general purpose/macro lens. Again, I have kept both of them as I consider them to be significantly different from each other including speed. As to whether you want to later unload the FA *85 in favor of the 77 Limited, is a totally different question. So far, for me, I haven't gone to the trouble of selling my FA* 85 and probably won't. I happen to really like it for portraits and I have the FA 100 macro for everything else.
