I have/had experiences with almost all types of 40-55 mm lenses Pentax ever made. I cannot say that FA43/1.9 Limited is better in point of optical quality than FA50/1.4 or A50/1.7; yes, I like these two lenses best in Pentax 50 mm lenses. It has very large coma wings wide open, and also has some distortion larger than expected as a modern normal lens. But still it creates exceptional image qualities as Paal wrote. I would recommend FA50/1.4 in point of optical quality and would recommend FA43/1.9 Limited in point of image quality. I would go for FA43/1.9 Limited if I had to choose one.
