A blackberry blossom in our back yard. A quick comparison of the FA 50/1.4, M 50/1.4, & A 50/2.8 Macro. Shot was hand-held. 1/100 @ f9, just to hit close to the sweet spot of each lens. I know a lot of people are excited by the M, but that whole series has never given me much encouragement. This sample did not do poorly at all, but is clearly not as sharp as the FA & A. But I must give the M credit for its color cast. It matches the FA and, imnsho, both better the A with its cool character. So the A might be better for resolving power, but not for color accuracy.
