My first Pentax was a MX with the M-50/1.7 because it was cheaper than the 50/1.4. I had it for almost 20 years. Two years ago I sold my M-50/1.7 and buyed a used M-50/1.4 . It gives - in my eyes - a nicer rendition than the M-50/1.7 which seems to be quite "scientific". Some time ago I purcheased a camera with a M-50/2.0 .Of course I tried the lens, it wasn't bad, but I simply like the M-50/1.4 more. So it had to go. Conclusion: When I read your text I would recommend a M-50/1.4 - a wonderful combination with a MEsuper (I have one, too.)

Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 06:27:02 -0800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Hi! Kostas (and others), a bit of clarification. I have FA 50/1.7 lens that I bought new along with ZX-L and Sigma zoom. However I want to have more than one normal lens. I think that mostly I will keep FA 50 attached *all the time* to ZX-L and M 50/2.0 will be used on ME Super along with other (manual focus) lenses. But thanks for your responses. In fact, I am looking forward for more... <FrinedlyG> Thanks. Boris
