Hey B.D.-

doesn't ordering amazingly expensive equiptment make you feel better?
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!!!
