No. The D-FA 50mm Macro is 1:1 AFAIK so it is NOT the same optic as FA
Macro 50mm.

Or they just borrowed the FA optics and
FA 50 f 2.8 macro is also 1:1.Both FA and D-FA have 8 elements in 7
groups, but this doesn't mean they're identical. There may be different
sorts of optical glass used, for example.
Optical formulas of 100mm macros are also the same (9 elements in 8 groups).
Well, seems that I have to borrow
Alright, my bad.
So yes, I think a real test is obviously needed...

Hi there,
I checked our Pentax dealer pricelist today and noticed both 50mm and
100mm new macro lenses available. I am interested in 100mm macro and
surprisingly the new version is 80 euros cheaper than FA I 've decided
to get before. Does anyone have an experience with D-FA 100/2.8? Or
maybe
They have just hit the stores. They are full-frame lenses. They replace the FA,
and may be better, but that is still to be determined.

Or they just borrowed the FA optics and repackaged them into the more compact
plastic bodies?

Seem to be appearing in Japan. A bit of googling and pondering the
meaning of multiple question marks (translators are for wimps!) has
revealed a couple of piccies you might be interested in.
