Re: Where´s the love for Konica AR lenses? | |
Nice shots everyone.
So I am reading this thread thinking no love for Konica lenses eh? Well maybe they have slipped under the radar & I can find an 85mm 1.8 that will not break the bank. The few AR 85\'s I found listed on ebay were well over $300.00 us asking price. Which is what they want for Canon FD 85/1.8\'s which caused me to ask this question
What is it about 85mm legacy lenses that make them so expensive compared to other focal lengths?
I can understand decent 21mm lenses being up there in price or the various 1.2 aperture lenses. I am not complaining mind you, just trying to figure out the attraction of the 85 and what drives a moderate aperture lens to command such a price.
