The FA 50mm f/1.4.  Why, because I own it and not the other so am biased :)
Also, it's a normal lens that's sharp and fast, good for general usage, the
Limited have the different look, and are getting a little long for my tastes
if I had to choose one.  Plus they are far more expensive than they should
be.
