Lovely shots of a pretty girl! Nos. 1 and 2 are my favourites.
Nothing wrong with that lens.

Hi Phil!
Nice to see that my old FA*85 is in the good hands! And what a lovely model you have, beautiful little angel!

Hi Marko
Thanks for the kind comments.
It's a lovely lens, thanks for selling it to me.
The FA*85 is certainly a lot better than I am.
I look forward to using it a lot more and learning as I do so.

OK I have a confession, I am in love with the FA*85mm. Just a joy to use, so sharp and the bokeh is just incredibly smooth. I must take the time to set up off camera flash to try with it soon.
A few quick portraits taken with the 85mm this morning.

Lovely shots Phil, the first one is great and looks extremely professional (flash?),
The FA85 looks like a great lens, do you prefer it to the FA77?

Thanks Rob. The first pic was on camera flash bounced off a wall, nothing elaborate.
Regards the 85 vs 77 - I currently no longer own the 77. The second 77 I owned was sharper than my first copy and a superb lens. Very small and capable. The 85 is far larger and heavier, with that huge metal hood. Optically I'd pick the 85. It is even sharper, faster and the bokeh is in another league.

Ah interesting, the FA77 seems to have this aura around it but the FA*85 seems a bit less obvious choice, maybe as its a bit rarer?
It looks lovely and sharp though, I am happy with my little K85 although AF would be a nice addition.

The 85 is more highly regarded generally than even the 77. Just being a rare item, no longer in production, less know about it. The 77 is still superb though and far more practical for taking outside on a holiday or long walk.
