The 77 seems to lose something in the translation to digital. I haven't had the time to go off and do any formal sorts of testing, but I think the 3D qualities haven't transferred as well as I had hoped they would. The new angle of view is certainly not one I am used to, but I think it will be reasonably useful. I've had an A 50mm f/1.2 that I have never had any use for at all. Owned it since I bought into Pentax, probably 15 years now. I love it on the *ist D. Perfect size for the camera, great balance, lots of light to keep the screen nice and bright for focussing.
