Well, I might be biased, too, Igor, since my 50/1.4 is an A, and I don't
(yet, maybe) have an FA - <g>.
Seriously, in looking at all the images (and all parts of all the images),
I don't see that the FA is "the clear winner" - I'd say the A and the FA
are pretty close. (Of course, Collin had to confound the comparisons by
sticking the Cosina images between the A's and the FA's - <g>.)

Well, the A and the FA are the same basic design, so performance should
be reasonably close. The Super-Takumar 50/1.4 or S-M-C Takumar 50/1.4
would probably have been a better comparison than the Cosina, which is
from the era before Cosina products got good.
