I had the M1.7 and replaced it withte A1.4. I can't give any good reasons, but I prefer the A over the M. Well, I mean reasons beyod the fact that its a half stop quicker and has an A setting. :) I alsoo had the A50/2. I preferred this one to the M1.7 for both the A setting and the fact that it was incredibly small and light. > I would like to pick up a 1.4, and also wonder if > there is much difference between the A version Vs. the > M version.
