Bob, I'm afraid both lenses are not IF... I have the FA100/2.8 and the front bit does stick out when I focus.

I don't have the FA or F, but I believe both use internal focus mechanisms. Theses lenses don't change length as you focus. I am not sure if there is much difference in image quality. I'd be interested in any comparisons. Regards, Bob S.
