I'm willing to entertain offers, here. The only reason I'm selling it is that I bought a full frame + 85mm. I don't need an 85 for my Pentax any more. Beautiful lens!!!

It's super-sharp even at wide apertures, and it has great colors, contrast, and bokeh.

Here's a couple pictures from my own 85 that I think show how well this lens captures skin textures (Click for the 100% full-size versions). Please note that all of the pictures were captured hand-held using only available light.

And with Halloween and Christmas coming up, this lens would be ideal for capturing the holidays. I took mine trick-or-treating last year, and it did a great job in the low-light conditions:

Thank you Edgar! It is a super sweet lens. (love those trick-or-treating pics!

If I don't have the 77 and the Vivitar 85/1.4, I would have bought it at the 1st second. very nice lens, and Edigar's samples are really shinning!

I have no doubt someone will cave eventually.
