I have the FA 50 f/1.4 and K5IIs and plan to stick with APC. I could sell the FA 50 and purchase a DA 50 f/1.8. Would the DA 50 f/1.8 be better? Is the DA sharper edge to edge?

It's better, but IMO the difference is very small. I switched only because the 1.8 was included free in a bundle.

Me also.  And the Novoflex adapter even gives it a metal mount & aperture slider for my NEX-7.  Seems like a great lens but is not used by me so much.
