I have the FA version of this lens and it's really nice. I like it because of its
sharpness, its speed, its comfortable handling in manual-focus and the fact
that the AF is geared so that at non-macro distances it can be really _fast_
to focus.

I'm not sure about the nitty-gritty details but basically the rear element stays
stationary as you focus. It apparently keeps the sharpness more consistent
between macro and infinity focus.
