Tempted, but torn between this and the D-FA*50 that I have been saving up for for some time. And then there is D-FA*85 which I cannot resist given what this D-FA*50 has already brought to the table. I have a feeling that 85 is very close and this FA-77 price on Amazon is probably indicative of that eventuality.

Moving fast it seems!

**klh** · 08-13-2018, 04:59 PM

Couldn’t resist. I’ve been looking for a good used one for a while.
It was $669 sold by Eagle Camera and fulfilled by Amazon.

Looks like it's still at $669. Not too shabby!!

I don't think this is indicative of that. After all, the sale is currently isolated to just a handful of Amazon sellers.

B&H was able to match the Amazon price when it was $671

Only showed three available this afternoon with Eagle Camera as seller. Now back to "Ships from and sold by Amazon" at same $669 price but does not say how many available. Good to know B&H was willing to match the original $671 price.

Yeah, I much prefer to buy new/expensive camera gear from B&H. Much better customer service (ever try to talk to someone at Amazon on the phone?).

Back up to $807.93 as of this morning (sold and shipped by Amazon). Eagle Camera no longer listed on other sellers list.

Tempting but I'm saving for the new 50 1.4* and the upcoming 85mm 1.4.
I will only get this if the price dips significantly (300 - 400 USD maybe)
