Larry,
Just in case: B&H has had 77/1.8 consistently in stock at $785 for many months. I (finally! after many years of considering) bought it in March. I was seriously considering the korean 85/1.4, but decided to pull the trigger on this one. It was in stock just last week, but I see it now being listed as out of stock. That may explain the prices jumping at other stores. I like that lens. It looks like my K-7 underexposes with it, but that is not a big problem. I like the clarities of the colors in low light. I wish this lens had the focus-ring gear like the recent DA lenses have. Here is an example of a short video shot with this lens (at Austin Spring Tango Festival): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOu4l8ID8YE There is nothing special about this video (except for the new, yet unreleased song by APQ). Sorry for it being shaky, I don't do videos much, especially not with the tele-ish lenses.
