Do you remember what you paid for these beuties?
I recently picked up both of these lenses, but I don't have enough results back to say much, other than they seem to have the Pentax qualities I was looking for. I haven't really given them a workout, yet, and most of the images from the 24-50 are still in the camera.
I know the F 70-210 is the only non-star (*) F lens to use an ED element, a fact Pentax (as usual) didn't mention in any advertising or product info about the lens. This gives it some performance advantages, from what I've read -- is it significantly better than the A 70-210? A few people seem to like it better than the later FA 70-200 lens.
The 24-50 has the same optical formula as the 24-50 A lens, which I believe was an improvement over the 24-50 M lens that didn't get great performance reviews.
