I have an opportunity to get the Tak 35/2.3 so was wondering what would be a fair price for it, also for the 85/1.8 (it is Auto unfortunately so may not buy it if it ain't so good).
I'll probably buy the Tak 35/2 down the road, I love messing about with the 35's as they are close to normal on my 20D. What kind of outrageous sums of money should I expect to be relieved of for these two lenses?
