A *big* advantage of the 5n is spot focusing (in addition to the regular 3-point AF), where it focuses only on the center sensor instead of choosing one out of the three for you. There's also DOF preview. > Another question is which 50mm f1.4 should I get?

The A50/1.4 is a beautiful lens, but for people who are using it for snapshots an AF version might be easier. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
