a late welcome to Reinhold from Germany,
At the moment I`m a bit buisy, and can only follow the list from time to time.
So I´ll not be posting regular :-(.
About the 85/2 - I still like mine- someone told me that there were
more and less obvious changes. He talked about 6 different versions.
But I don`t know details. When you compare tecnical data there are often
minor differences, which makes this information credible.
But so far, I´ve no clues to find out.
