I have the A50/1.4, A50/1.7, A50/2 and F50/1.7. My understanding is that the A50/1.4 was a small redesign/improvement over the M50/1.4 ... the M and K should be identical optically, the A, F and FA versions identical optically. I've never owned any other Pentax 50/1.4 so I can't compare. The

Hi Godfrey, I doubt it. The M series was a major redesign from the K, and the look I get from the K50/1.4 and the M50/1.4 is different. As far as I can recall,, there was never a K50/1.7, so your comment doesn't seem right on that point, either. Shel [Original Message] From: Godfrey

My suspicion is that it is probably not real good for the CCD chip to run this program too often. Don't think of it as wiping the black-board. Think of it as sanding and retexturing the surface of the blackboard. You only have so many times you can do that sort of thing before the surface

You're right about the M50 1.7 Shel, it was the replacement for the [K]55 1.8. I'm not sure that the M50 1.4 would be called a major redesign, (except for the mechanics that is), but all of the tooling had to be changed which along with improvements in coatings may account for some difference
