I have 85mm/F1.4 but I don't know whether its Limited edition.

rgds,
Andre
accordingly to the dpreview km forum
there only 700 unit worldwide
and cost more than us$2000
the one we had around here cost only around s$1k plus:sweatsm:
 

how they make it limited btw?
i dont think they make the lense different right...
 

the design between limited edition and mormal are difference...optical perform also better, but the product cost too high...
 

Koreans produce a lot of fine works. But they also put in a large amount of time into their DI.
 

Some one on the Minolta Yahoo group posted one for sale not to long ago
here is his post
don't know whether sold yet ......aQ
