Item Description
Pentax FA* 85 F1.4 lens, hood, caps, case and box.

I am having to cut back on my camera equipment so I am letting this wonderful copy of the classic FA* 85 f1.4 go. It is by far the nicest example I have ever seen. The body is almost perfect and the glass is very clean without dust, haze, scratches etc. Everything works very well. The focus is snappy and accurate on my K-1. Price includes shipping and paypal fees. I paid much more for this lens just a few months ago.

Why wait a year for a promised 85 1.4 equivalent when this is here now and takes magical photos?

Seriously. Crazy. Can't fathom a better portrait lens at this focal length. Just phenomenal.
