I doubt it. The M series was a major redesign from the K, and the look I
get from the K50/1.4 and the M50/1.4 is different.
Well, looking at bdmitrov's pages, the K, M, and A all depart somewhat in the relationship of elements' curvature and thickness. Whether it's the drawing or what, i do not know. I have heard it said repeatedly on various forums that the 50/1.4 got a redesign between the M and A series, and that the A series is a superior performer. More than that I don't know.
I do know the A50/1.4 is great. :-)
As far as I can recall,, there was never a K50/1.7, so your comment doesn't
seem right on that point, either.
Yes, the 50/1.7 seems to have been introduced at M series time according to the same pages.
