I've noticed on that J Cowell's price index lists the F 50/1.4 as selling
for slightly more than the FA 50/1.4. Is this an aberration in his
statistics, or is the F a better lens? I'm guessing construction quality
would be the only difference. I've always understood the construction of the
F series to be weak.
Never seen an F50/1.4. My F50/1.7 doesn't really impress me with it's build, but then again, neither does the FA.
The only FA lenses whose build I am impressed with are the Limiteds, and now I am wondering if I can get my 77 rebuilt with the extra helical support.
