Robert, You didn't say what you would be using it for. I have the FA *85 and love it. I have tested it quite a bit and find that it is ideal for portrait work. However, it does not perform as well as a general pupose lens. At infinity focus, it is not sharp until stopped down to at least f8. My understanding of the 77 limited is that it makes for a better general purpose lens and is about on par for portraits. So, unless you need the 1.4 versus 1.8 speed, the 77 limited is probably the better choice.
