Hi Shel, glad to hear the new DSLR is OK. The A50/1.7 is very little like the M version. More plastic, which is mostly evident in the feel of the aperture ring. Focus feel is OK and image quality is very good. On the D where you adjust aperture from the body it's a very pleasant lens to use. If you plan to adjust aperture manually you''ll be happier with the M version.
