... [] The new 85mm f1.4 price seems very high, compared to the older one, unless it's just an unrealistic MSRP. It's metal - not plastic. "Featuring a completely new optical design and a built-in Silent Wave focus motor, it also includes Nikon's top-end goodies including a 9-bladed diaphragm, Nano Crystal coating for the reduction of flare, a magnesium alloy body shell and weathersealing." |

Unless we make a living in photography, do we NEED any equipment? But, my comment was directed to Rich's constant carping about value. I wonder exactly what photo equipment he does buy. (No I don't stay awake wondering about that.) -- Peter |

I hear aircraft spotters continually saying they "need" such and such an airframe..... But, my comment was directed to Rich's constant carping about value. I wonder exactly what photo equipment he does buy. (No I don't stay awake wondering about that.) -- Peter I thought Rich borrowed all his stuff from the shop where he was employed? Cheers, David |
