Question- Is the Nikkor 85/1.4 a screwmount lens? (I've never shot Nikon, so this may seem like a silly question) or is it for your Nikon SLR system? If it IS a screwmount, why would you go this route and not the 75 Summilux? Hope you're getting better with every dollar of insurance money that flies form your hands!!!
