$890 for a 85mm f1.8 SMCT lens !

Yes, it has QuickShift. If the rendering quality from this lens is  
competitive with the FA77, I could even be moved to sell the FA77  
just to get that feature as I use it extensively with the DA21 and DA14.

The FA77 is a superb lens, however, so the DA70 has to be darn good  
to motivate me. ;-)
