Re: FA 50 1.4 vs DA 50 1.8

All that yeah, but somehow people have missed the point here, the FA 50mm has F1.4 not 1.8!

I just like the old FA for all it's faults, the build quality and weight is very decent with it's metal mount and S/H you should pick one up for $200.

In troubled times when needed this lens when thrown accurately at the head should keep an assailant down long enough to effect your escape, the 1.8's injuries would be negligible.

I have it on good authority that the SAS are never issued plastic lenses!
