Originally posted by bikehead90 I’ve been drooling over some of the A* lenses (the 85, 135, and 200 to be exact). Just like my Super Tak 200, I find it kind of hard to use though. 200mm doesn’t zoom enough to be a “true” telephoto, but it also zooms too much to be a wide-angle/portrait.
Well, the A* 200mm doesn't zoom at all, since it is a prime lens. I have used it for portraits, theatre and concerts, flowers, and landscape. The A* 85mm is much harder to focus. I'd love to have an A* 135mm, but on the few occasions one is for sale the price is horrendous. A new fast D-FA* 135mm wouldn't be a bad thing.
