FA *85 or FA 77 Limited?

Yes, I own both and love both but hardly use the 77 anymore except on certain jobs where the smaller weight and size is nice. For my K-1 I find the focus to be more accurate with the 85 (more keepers when shooting with a shallow depth of field). I also prefer the bokeh and the overall rendering from the 85. When shooting between f1.4-2.5 the way it handles skin is more pleasing to my eyes than the 77 from f1.8-2.5. Helps cut down on my editing time.

I partially held on to the 77 in hopes that Pentax would eventually try their hand at a mirrorless FF. Having a smaller body with that lens would be a killer combo for portraits on the go. I am interested in the new 85 they are working on but I will still hold onto my current FA 85 as a backup or in the event that I actually don't like the new version as much. :lol:
