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."

Would you buy one if it was 1/3 the price?

Personally, no, as I don't need such a lens, but you have a good point
about perceived value.

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.)

I hear aircraft spotters continually saying they "need" such and such an
airframe.....

I thought Rich borrowed all his stuff from the shop where he was employed?

Cheers,
David
