If I had a K50 f1.2 sitting around doing nothing it would be because I'd 
built it a small shrine to sit in.


If I had an A50 f1.2 it wouldn't be sitting around doing nothing...

Divide by zero error. There's no such thing as "photographic commonsense".

Anyway you don't pick lenses using math. You take them out on dates to
see if you're compatible. It's more an emo thing.
