If I hadn't just bought an FA*85 I'd be sweating over this beauty.
Best wishes to seller and buyer!

pmed looks awesome, curious as to why you choose the fa77 over this? been going back and forth on which I want to get lol

**jrpower10** · 03-03-2017, 11:09 PM

PM answered. Biggest reason is I'm moving to Saudi Arabia for work, have limited ability to take camera gear, and the 77 is about as good but a little more compact, mainly re the hood. Taking this job was the right career move but I'm forced to sell a lot of gear I really love.

Had you have been taking this lens there... between us we could have balanced the Pentax lens books in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as that's where my “Sweetheart” (Pentax-A* 85mm F1.4) was purchased.

I think we can declare this one sold. I have a probable buyer and a definite 1st alternate. If everything falls through I'll open it up again.

Good luck with the sale. But yes, you will regret it. ;-) I owned one, sold it, bought one again...

I have LBD really bad, really really bad.

Is there an app or a plugin for chrome or something that will make it impossible to load the for sale section? I need to install it on my laptop.

Congrats first buyer. I almost offered more than asking price to get it but didn't feel right to do so. Hope to see some pics of that beast in action
