If you need the small size and light weight, either of them will do, I
would suspect. If weight and size isn't a concern, I'd save a few more
pennies and find a used 100/2.8, which seem to be plentiful and
That's exactly what I use:
ZX-M, A28/2.8, A50/1.4, A100/2.8 (in the branded stuff)
If the budget is tight, get the A50/1.7. One fine lens.
The AF lenses will give you display of the aperture in the
finder at all times. The A lenses don't do that. Bummer.
But otherwise you'll get all the

Chris,
This is one reason I've been on the soapbox about the Grandfather Mountain
