o) They are faster than non-FA* lenses.
Not aware of. FA*85/1.4 is no faster than A*85/1.4. FA*300/4.5 is the same
as F*300/4.5, and slower than any M/A 300/4.
o) They are sharp (at least, the ones I own are).
FA*24/2 is not particular sharp, and my 2 samples perform the same.
FA*85/1.4 is
I read somewhere that the Star in the Pentax lenses stands for
APO, so it should apply to the apochromatic lenses. But I may be
wrong...
I don't know the exact techanical differences, but Pentax Nikkor use ED,

Mark misunderstood your question. the FA* lenses are all faster in terms of
larger aperture. the FA* 80-200 is f2.8. compare that with the FA 80-200

Damn, we should request Pentax to trade the old-TTL-flash capability for the
aperture ring capability. Now is too late. But as I said before, Pentax

you have a ZX-5n, MZ-S and *ist series, you will need three different
cables. The dumbest move I've seen Pentax make.
