The FA 35/2 is a superb lens, and I believe the A version is optically identical. > They are not the same optically. The FA 35 mm. 2.0 is a newer design, 6 elements in five groups, being one of the elements aspherical. The A 35 mm. 2.0 has 7 elements in seven groups. I agree that the FA 35 is an excellent lens.
