I couldn't agree more (for both the statements... I own a Nikon 50/1.8 and is terrible in this regard). The manual focusing of the FA 50/1.4 is among the best for an AF lens. > I recently bought the FA 50 f/1.4, and was a little disappointed in the > sharpness in the wider apertures.

Not extremely sharp, of course, but better than my other 50/1.4 (a couple of M series and a K series). Ciao, Gianfranco ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
