Igor, I've no experience with the D-FA 100/2.8 Macro, but the A100/2.8 Macro is a favorite of mine. The 'flat field' is very handy for copy work and the Marco is great. I wasn't happy with my results on landscapes and thought other lenses did better. I didn't use it for portraits as I prefered the M 85mm f2 as smaller/lighter and easier to focus. Your milage may vary. Regards, Bob S.
