Hi Artur,
A little blur adds life to the scene, therefore it's not always good to
avoid it when the subject is very dynamic. You should definitely get that 50
mm f/1,4 or 1,7 lens. It would help you isolate the subject from the
background on the wider apertures (it would move the background from

Trust me when I tell you that the current FA35/2 creates no lens envy by
their owners - I have one. But the 28/2.8 just isn't bright enough for my
liking, whereas the 31/1.8 is what I want at the wider end. Now, if they
could also do a FA* 35/1.4, then maybe that would be something special.

I believe it means that the floating machanism ensure optimum optical quality
