I've seen one offered on ebay - looks 'chunkier' and is probably heavier. I
didn't know or hadn't registered comments about the f2.8, 1:1 version but
opinion seems to indicate that it wasn't exactly the 'new improved
version.' I thought the original discussion was about the two f2.5
versions.

I've got an 85/2 also which is why I'm sweating on whether I should buy
this one or not but I'll probably ring/make an offer on Monday - they don't
come around that often. Just can't help myself!
