Me. Love it. Have the FA100 and the M50 macros too. FAs built like tanks. Sharp as anything. Naturally, focus dampening is not as good as on the manual focus lenses, but it is still very usable. I like the generous area on the barrel for hand-holding. It is quite good for portraits too because of the nice bokeh (although for serious bokeh, I'd always use the FA50/1.4) D
