Mark, I hope you don't mind the personal intrusion. Is the lens still available?

I purchased my FA* 85mm F1.4 lens new in 1999-2000 time frame. It's been used sparingly and is in essentially new condition--no marks at all on the glass, no marks on the lens barrel, and just a little "bag wear" on the hood. The lens comes with hood, front and rear caps, and original box. Apparently, all of the FA* lenses are now discontinued, though some "new old stock" may still exist. B&H currently lists the lens as "back-ordered" on their site. I'm asking $700 plus actual shipping costs. The lens will go on Ebay tomorrow or Sunday if I don't get any PDML interest. Thanks, Mark
