Originally posted by Manwe I am in *need* of a moderate telephoto. Not saying that I will buy one now, but I need something to dream about.
I read you loud and clear
Most of my LBA is in the thought and theory, it’s fun but also cheaper.
The A* 85mm f/1.4 seems to be getting excellent user feedback. Remember the link by Jim King, to a place that have them home :
KevinCameras
In time, I’m thinking about getting both the 77 lmt. and the FA* 85, though the last one will require more patience. I manage to convince myself that I can use them for different purposes.
For now I’ll settle for the 100 macro.
Thanks to Roentarre for the background theory behind the 77 and 85.
What does GAS mean ?
