Hi James It's night here so I wasn't able to test over a wide range of light conditions.
I have the FA 80-320 and on my Super A there seems to be little difference in Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Program modes - perhaps 1/2 a stop difference. The same for the FA 35-80 and A 35-70. I'll test again in daylight tomorrow unless someone else comes up with advice in the meantime.
