And I'm tempted by a fast AF 50, preferably FA 50/1.4 ...

I had several A series 50mm lenses as well as the F50/1.7 and I
bought the FA50/1.4 anyway. The style doesn't bother me at all: I
like having the option of AF with this superb lens. It focuses
precisely and smoothly, both AF and manual, and it's well worth
buying a NEW lens now and

Hey don't forget the 50/2.8 on the auto 110! I think that the 200/4
deserves some sort of recognition too, being available in 35mm, 645 and 67

If you're mainly using it reversed then you might as well look for

Yep, lot's of 50's and 55's they often came with camera bodies I've
bought over the years. Usable body caps. Sometimes I bought a camera
to get the lens on it, (expensive rear lens caps).

Make great body caps, props, door stops and are fun to play with.

Small or fast, sharp or nice bokeh, muted, true or bold colors.
