Vic, > And I also assume that the 50mm f/1.4 M and A are optically identical?
I have four M-50/1.4 and two A-50/1.4 (you can never have enough fifties). Here's a summary of my findings: M: - better bokeh - better build quality A: - better sharpness from 1.4 to 2.8 - perhaps slightly higher contrast (different coatings) - full support for digital SLRs (except AF, of course) you may already guessed which one I prefer from the numbers above. :-) Nevertheless the (optical) differences are very small and you can't go wrong with either.
