That seems totally backwards to me. You picked up a black nose 85/2 for
$50, but only see silvernosed ones going for $300?
Maybe I've lost touch with eyebuy.

Part of it with my 85mm shot was the background was blotchy grass, but
yours do look a lot nicer. I'd like to get a silvernose 85 to try but
they always seem to go over $300 on ebay and I can't afford it.
