Wow! Congratulations Mike.

Made a killing in the stock or property market? Care to share how much you got it for?

The RS version. Noisy when focusing, but its a solid, heavy lens. Metal body.

This one:

I just noticed, that's the very first lens ever listed on Dyxum's database!

Yup, I thought so too. Hence the "break the bank" urge to buy it.

Compared to the CZ 85, it's MUCH louder when focusing, and about half as fast at focusing. But the colors are warmer, the bokeh is fantastic, and it's really obviously designed for portraiture.
