I've got my FA50/1.4 attached.
I'm shooting in low light, but with the flash.
It's exposing the images properly.
But the images all have 1/8 @ f2.5.
And the shutter sounds like it.
When I go into brighter light, it behaves as though
there is no flash. Still exposes properly per the flash
but regis
I changed lenses and the problem went away.
It seems to not like my FA50/1.4.

What exposure mode are you using?
I've found that I get my best results by going to manual (ambient)
exposure mode and setting 1/60-1/125 second and locking the aperture
to f/4-f/8 with a lot of dedicated flash systems. Then the TTL flash
metering works very nicely. Most seem to get easily confuse
What Godders said. For flash exposure situations where the flash is the primary
light source, I go to manual exposure. I may even use a high speed shutter to
balance foreground and background, but I don't let the camera's tiny brain try
to figure out the parameters.

I know this sounds a bit funny but most of us use a K-x for low light to not
use a flash. So I have to at least ask what ISO you are shooting at? Also is
this the popup flash or a clip on? Have you considered boosting iso up to 6400
to see how it would perform. These days I almost never use
Flash can be a nice supplement in all kinds of light. I frequently use it in
full sun. Whether or not the camera has enough sensitivity for the ambient
light is beside the point in my opinion.

Guys,
I was using the pop-up flash, set @ ISO 200, for some CraigsList ads.

Nothing "serious" but still strange.
With the A35/2, when the flash pops up the ss changes to 1/180 automatically.
With the FA50/1.4, not so. At least not this evening.

I think we are agreeing. I use flash all the time - but more as fill rather
than primary source. Of course when there is that much light, one hardly needs
the low light capabilities of the K-x. That is when my K20 comes out to play.

The FA50 seems to have dirty contacts.
I suppose it was correctly set to 'A' setting.
It may need a repair if cleaning the contacts does not help.
