Ahh OK, neither of which I'm familiar with performance wise in conjunction with the Pentax DSLRs. Given your problem I would venture to suggest that you are seeing bloom which may have been exacerbated by CA, flash isn't going to provide anywhere near the contrast range that scenes outside may contain such as a back-lit tree branch. > Both 50s (F50/1.7 & FA50/1.4) perform with excellent edge > sharpness.

I'm, not a great fan of the manual lens work-around so I've retired all but one lens without an "A" position on the aperture. The A50/1.4 (like the FA) does work very well though.
