Re: Difference between 50mm A and 50 mm M.

[Joe Wilensky]

Aren't both the M and A 50/1.7 lenses about the cheapest Pentax 
lenses you can find, aside from the 50mm f/2 lenses? Since they're 
both wonderfully compact and very sharp, they're also great values. 
But don't both of them sell for anywhere from $20 to $40, tops? 
They're often the free "body caps" that come with camera bodies on 
eBay! What's the big difference in price?

 Is there a big difference in quality between the 50mm M and 50mm A
 lenses ? (There is a big difference in price :-) )
