I've got the A35/2, not the FA, as well as the K30/2.8.
So a comparison here is not specifically to your question, but may be
useful to some.
On film the K30/2.8 is significantly better than the A35/2.
On digital the results are similar. It seems that the white balance
abilities of the computer/camera
helps the A35/2's color cast.
The FA series has a bit more amber to the cast and would presumably
produce fine images with both film or digital.
Personally, one should not worry so much about the "best" lenses,
lest one become a gearhead
and more concerned about the lens than the composition.
