Aaaand, now that my 35/1.4 is gone, it's now time to part with my 85/1.4 as well. This is just a beautiful, beautiful portrait lens. I'm only letting it go because I usually tend to reach for the wacky (but fun) Helios 40-2, and in terms of aperture, I just got an FD 85/1.2L that will provide me with that half-stop advantage, so I know this Planar will see very little usage.
And it's just a treasure of a lens to be left sitting not used. Time to find another home.
This one is in a *much* better condition than the Distagon; I'd rate the optics at 9.5/10, and cosmetics at 9/10 (just vey minor scuffing on the barrel), and mechanics at 10/10.
$650 OBO plus shipping and Paypal.
Photos to come later.
