The FA50/1.4 has quite good MF feel for an AF lense, not near as good as the K,M and A lenses though. The F50mm lenses have terrible MF feel from what i have experienced. > Also, should I save some money by opting for the 50mm f1.7 instead? Do you need the extra half stop of light? they are both optically excellent lenses. > Definition of a biggot: someone winning an argument with a liberal.
