FA* 80-200mm

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I find there is something special about the colours from my FA* lenses - I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but they seem "richer" yet not over-saturated.
I've owned a DA* 50-135 for as long as my FA* 80-200, but I nearly always choose the FA* over the DA* when going out shooting. I've bought and sold many lenses, this is one I don't think I'll part with in a hurry
This is a crop of a shot taken at 93mm, f2.8 - 1/125 - iso400
and this is the original

Both handheld, dull lighting (this morning) - jpegs from camera and no PP at all. I'm sure they would scrub up nicely with a little sharpening

I've got the FA* 28-70, and am thinking of supplementing it with the FA* 80-200.
Anyone got any experience of the FA* 80-200 ?
