You won't regret the 50 at all. The list seems to be of the opinion
that the M 50 f1.4 is the least of the fast 50s, but they're all very
good. And with the M, you still get a good build (the F has a pretty
bad build).

I happen to own the M 50 f1.4 and the K 135 f2.5.
I wouldn't give either of them up. Fine lenses.

I think this F better than FA 50/1.4 thing got started because
PhotoDo rated the F a tad higher.

Is the F 50/1.4 truly a better performer than the FA or the A
version? I have heard this before, and yet the F version of the lens
is nearly impossible to find! I have the FA and A versions, and they
are beautiful with wonderful results. Where does the F lens have an

Hi, Jens,
I was asking specifically about the f 50/1.4. I know it's supposedly
optically identical to the A and FA versions, but I've read several
places that the F version is ranked highest, at least by those who
have used it.

Henri,
Great lenses and a great price.
I presume the 135mm is a K lens at F2.5 with a 58mm filter diameter
and not the M-135 f3.5 with 49mm filter.
The M-135 f3.5 is a very good lens, but a great price would be $20 for it.
