Hmm. I don't find the focusing feel of the A35/2.8 to be much better
or worse than the FA35/2, same goes for the FA50 vs the A50 f/1.4.
But I know it's a matter of opinion and preference. Whatever suits you.
I tend to prefer new lenses myself, and find the AF potential to be a
plus.

somewhat
of an exception, as their focus feel (and focusing ring) are
acceptable.
Plus, the difference in price between a used 20mm A and a new 20mm
FA is
about $100.00 - $200.00, money which I could put to better use than
giving
to B&H for an FA version.
