Hello
85mm f/:1.4 A = 7 lens in 6 groups
85mm f/:1.4 FA = 8 lens in 7groups
The French reference test of Chasseur d Images Magazin shows that the 85mm
FA is better than a LEICA APO Summicron M 90mm f/:2 Asph or Canon 85mm L
f/:1.2 or Minolta or Nikon 85mm f/:1.4 !!!!
When you use the FA at f/:1.4, it is as good as the 85mm A when you use at
f/:2.8 !!!!
I am surprise that Nobody in the US seems to konw this !
See you
