Hi,
I just few minutes ago got FA*85 and FA*24. Amazing lenses.
Unfortunately I do not have 135/1.8.
Best regards,
Yuriy

I believe Clinton has all three of those.

Right enough, Clinton's your boy for these lenses.

I had a mailcontact with him.

Is he really the only lucky guy?

I've had all the three lenses, but not at the same time... Here is one photo from my buddy friend here in Singapore:

From left to right:FA*24, FA*85, FA*200 and FA*80-200. The A*135 is just a bit shorter than the FA*200 w/o hood, but a bit heavier than FA*200. Hope you get the idea.

I have a shot of my own A50/1.2, A*85 and A*135/1.8 a while ago, the FA*85 is about the same size as an A*85, but of course normally FA*85 comes w/ a hood. Just for your reference:

Makes me wonder why the A 1.2 didnt get the star label.

What is the difference between a normal A series lens and a A star lens?

Hmm, other than a green star marked on the lens, I guess we won't see any difference

And IMO Pentax can easily put a green star on the A50/1.2.

and why are the textletters upside-down on the 50/1.2 compared to the other two?

Because that's actually the front of the lens, not the barrel.

You can send me a FA*24, then I take the photo.

You know.... at times I am tempted to get decals to place the "PENTAX" on all of them like the wording on the FA*200.
Too bad decals are not so easily avaliable anymore from book stores.

Too bad the A*135/1.8 eludes me (at least from what I am willing to pay for one)
But at its current price, its overpriced imho, cause its significantly more than a new Canikon 135/2.

To TS, why do you need such a picture?
