I have the A50/1.4, A50/1.7, A50/2 and A50/2.8 Macro. The A50/2 feels a bit cheap, the A50/1.7 a bit less so, the f/1.4 and f/2.8 Macro feel like high quality lenses. I hope the A50/1.2 has the same high quality feel as the f/1.4 and f/2.8.

Performance-wise, the A50/2 is the poorest performer of the lot, wide open and at f/4; even it at f/5.6 and beyond is darn nice. The others are excellent virtually everywhere.

I've the following Pentax 50mm lenses: ST50/1.4, K50/1.2, K50/1.4, K55/1.8,
M50/1.4, M50/1.7, M50/2.0, A50/2.0

... right now I'm more concerned with the construction and feel
of the A50/1.2. I've been thinking of making some comparos between the
50's myself.  Just not have been feeling up to it lately.
