What's this thing made of?

Hello again - I'm getting back into photography after about 35 years of letting life get in the way.  I've purchased an F1N on Ebay, and a murder (the correct term for the group) of FD lenses. I want to get an 85mm FD f/1.8 next.  While all of my other FD lenses have been very reasonable, the used 85s on Ebay are going tor $180+. What the hey??!!!  I mean I bought a 100mm for aroung $50; so why so much for the 85? THanx.  Michael

Actually guys this was a plea for clarification.............

"You are wanting to shoot film?  Not digital?  FD lenses are great for film cameras.  But they are not worth the effort to convert to digital."

Geez.
