Subjective image quality opinions about the ones I've owned recently. I've owned many other Pentax 50mm lenses, but I was not as critical back then:
50mm F1.4 M: Fantastic resolution, even pretty decent at wide apertures. Tinge of barrel distortion. 50mm F1.7 F: Soft up to about F2.8, very good resolution from F4.0-F11. Nearly no distortion. 43mm F1.9 FA: A little soft wide open, but improves dramatically quickly to fantastic resolution. Nice bokeh. Moderate barrel distortion (too much for a prime IMO).
