Re: SMC-FA 2/24 and 1.4/85: Good price?
Probbaly you are right. Prices are good IMHO Alek Uytkownik Heiko Hamann [EMAIL PROTECTED] napisa: Hi, I've got an offer that seems to be so good that I can hardly reject it: SMC-FA 2/24 like new, complete and in box: 200,- Euro/US$ SMC-FA 1,4/85 like new, complete and in box: 400,- Euro/US$ I don't really need this lenses as I'm satisfied with my SMC FA 2/35 in the wide angle range and my SMC-M 2.8/100 as portrait lens. Further more I would prefer the 77Ltd instead of the 1.4/85. But the prices seem to be very attractive so that I'm thinking about buying them, using them a short time and selling them next year. It seems that I can't make a loss, doesn't it?? Help=%-] Cheers, Heiko --r-e-k-l-a-m-a- wita tu tu! http://swieta.onet.pl
Re: SMC-FA 2/24 and 1.4/85: Good price?
Heiko, Certainly the price is great. I have the FA *24/2.0 and the FA 35/2.0. I think that they are very different lenses and I would keep both. In fact, I sold my FA 20/2.8 and 28/2.8 in favor of keeping those first two (needed money for 67 glass). I also have both the FA *85/1.4 and the FA 100/2.8 macro lens. Again, I don't consider them to be at all the same kind of lens. The 85 is a MUCH better portrait lens and the 100 macro is MUCH better general purpose/macro lens. Again, I have kept both of them as I consider them to be significantly different from each other including speed. As to whether you want to later unload the FA *85 in favor of the 77 Limited, is a totally different question. So far, for me, I haven't gone to the trouble of selling my FA* 85 and probably won't. I happen to really like it for portraits and I have the FA 100 macro for everything else.

Hi Bruce, on 12 Dec 02 you wrote in pentax.list: Certainly the price is great. I have the FA *24/2.0 and the FA 35/2.0. I think that they are very different lenses and I would keep both. In fact, I sold my FA 20/2.8 and 28/2.8 in favor of keeping those first two (needed money for 67 glass). Interesting. I wouldn't have thougt that there is such a difference... I also have both the FA *85/1.4 and the FA 100/2.8 macro lens. Again, I don't consider them to be at all the same kind of lens. The 85 is a MUCH better portrait lens and the 100 macro is MUCH better general purpose/macro lens. I'm more interested in a genereal purpose lens. The FA85/1.4 would be interesting as it is an AF lens and I'm actually owning the manual SMC-M 100/2.8. As to whether you want to later unload the FA *85 in favor of the 77 Limited, is a totally different question. So far, for me, I haven't gone to the trouble of selling my FA* 85 and probably won't. And that's the deciding point: I'm actually in the trouble of selling some of my Pentax gear to finance an MZ-S with the 24-90 as travel zoom. I don't really need the lenses at the moment and would buy them only in order to sell them later. So I will exercise self-restraint :-) and leave this opportunity. The 1.4/85 can be found in a buy-now auction. I don't now the seller and it is a German auction. But the price should make it worth a try if anyone is interested... You can find the auction here: http://www.atrada.de/ Detail.asp?AngebotNr=7939205atradaid=323AEBFAACDE4B0E8709D0A6E49B1909 Regards, Heiko
