The camera metering should work identically with either lens.
The Pentax FA is a SMC lens, (with power zoom), and you can see it here:

The Pentax F is a non SMC (bargain lens) and you can see it here:

Thanks, PJ!
I don't believe that you guys are completely correct.
IIRC, there was a non-SMC (Takumar) 70-200 F zoom,
quite inexpensive. Though it was sharp, it was very
prone to flare.
However, there was also an SMC F 70-200 F zoom, shown
on Boz's site here:
That's the SMC F 70-210. Which I mentioned in my post. There was no
70-200 version of this lens, (nor is there one mentioned on Boz's site),
if I remember correctly.

Peter is right, the Pentax-F 70-200/4-5.6 has been called a ringer

for the SMC Pentax-F 70-210/4-5.6 ED. BTW: The 70-210s always seem to
get better reviews than any of the 70-200s. The SMCP-F 70-210/4-5.6 ED is
indeed a fine lens, though a bit pricey.
Be careful with that ED

Hi, Don. I am surprised that Boz claims that it has extra-low dispersion
element(s), and that he names it as and ED lens. It certainly does not
come labeled as

There is an additional difference between F and FA lenses in general.
FA lenses can communicate MTF data to the camera body which is used by
the PZ-1p, MZ-S, and *ist-DS (and maybe others). The *ist-DS uses this
info in AutoPic mode and any of the pictograph modes. It doesn't use
this data
The *ist D has an MTF Program Line as well.
