yep, Tenpa magnifier helps a lot, but I need to find some nice splitscreen to make it even easier. Definitely go for it...

'Close to the edge, down by the river' ....could it be another YES fan, or is it just my imagination?

btw. I do have 77 limited which might go for sale, but given the fact that you're in New Zealand it will be probably too expensive for you to buy anythin from EU with added value of import duties and shipping, right?

SMC 20/4.....definitely, but then I'm looking at K24/2.8 which might be even better

Interesting to hear that mikew. That or the 77. There is a 77 being auctioned that I'm watching, but I have to sell the K50/1.2 and the M85/2 to afford it

I'm not sure if it is a good idea....77 is surely a great lens, but those two you have already are pretty rare and very good ones. Unless you really need AF, I would hesitate to sell them (especially K50) to finance 77limited.

Archie - International Euro transfers are very quick, usually no more than an hour or two, often a lot faster.

The recent one though was Euro to pounds - and the banks must have their pound of flesh out of such transactions.

Within the Netherlands bank transfers, even to other banks are as good as instantaneous.

I concurr that, but probably if you require SEPA transaction? I was told by my bank that usual transfer takes approx 2 days. Can't remember how it was with your 50-135 lens,I just remember it was quick and pleasant deal. And delivery from netherlands was ultrafast

From photos I have seen, M85/2 seems to be very good lens. It suffers from heavy blue fringing in high contrast situations though. I would definitely like to try one. Some accomplished photographers on the other forum swear that it is every bit as good as FA77 limited. For 125£ it's no brainer, buy it, if you don't like it, you can always sell it, probably even with a little profit.

aaaarghh....now that i spent all my reserve money on K85/1.8 this appears to taunt my LBA! Mike, please rethink selling this lens, give it time on your camera and then after 2-3 months come back here to sell it
I've run out of funds currently

I used to have all three lenses.....all three are great, unless you need f1.8-f2.4...and don't worry about size and sdm, there not a reason to change. I liked DA70 most due to its size and build, but all three are moreless even. DA*50-135 will give you much more flexibility, so in your case I would keep it...
