The F 50/2.8 I know to be a sharper macro than the A 5/2.8 (and the FA version should be the same as the F). However, the A 50/2.8 is ~so~ much nicer a lens to use for manual focus. > BTW, the answer I could give myself is wait for an AF 100mm macro > that would be better than the 100/4 I've always used.

I've used the A 100/4 (it's my wife's macro lens, actually), and it feels very much like a longer version of the A 50/2.8. It's a pretty nice lens (there aren't actually many bad 100-ish macros out there), although I do prefer the bulkier A 100/2.8 Macro over it. Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
