Both FA * 85 f1.4 and DFA are dream lens to me. I had once the opportunity to get the Pentax FA *85 f1.4 and chose a Nikon system instead. Had I know that the FA * 85 would be so difficult to find today would I have chosen diffrently.

I recently got myself  a 43 mm, the new HD version and simply love it. When I see the price and the weight of the new Pentax 85 mm I think the 77 mm is maybe a better choice. Smaller, not so heavy and for portrait, too sharp a lens is not always the best choice.

I will first get the 77mm and see after for the DFA 85 mm.
