Some mistakes in life can be corrected
Just got my hands back on my old 85mm, F2 after selling in to a friend a while back when I needed funds to buy a the 15mm. He has not been using it much so he sold it back to me for the same price I sold it to him ( $175 Cdn) a steal at both ends. Anyway, no matter what some people write about the lens, I like it and plan to put it through its paces this weekend. Also picked up a 50 F1.7 from him... Vic
Re: Some mistakes in life can be corrected
This is the same guy who has the mint 135-600 F6.7 lens complete with metal box. He's looking to sell it for about $1,200 Cdn. I am now considering buying it more as a collector lens than a user. This thing is HUGE, but it is certainly interesting. The autofocus version just happens to be in a store nearby for $9,000. It's not the same lens by any stretch of the imagination, but it would be interestingto own... Vic

RE: Some mistakes in life can be corrected
i own the screwmount version (same lens) and its OUTSTANDING! Grab it for that price, you wont be sorry. BTW, It sold for $2000 U.S. way back in the 70's. I paid $1000 U.S. for mine but the screwmount version is more collectable I would think...
