Choice of lenses K or AF depends on your type of photography. Mine does not require AF at all (although there are time AF would be nice) and have unloaded all my AF lenses to make room for the manuals. I have no regret and my prints really show the difference.
However, it is not just AF/MF or 85/77. It is the little extra time required to set up a shot that provides better composition etc. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 7:55 PM Subject: 85mm vs 77mm, and 43mm > Hi > I've been following the discussion of 85mm lenses avidly, and it raised a > question with me: > > Owning a K85/1.8 that I'm really happy with, is there any point in aspiring > to own a Ltd 77/1.8?
