I would buy the A50/1.7 that Colin Brendemeuhl put up for sale today. Excellent lens, and easily resellable if you don't want it anymore.

How good is the Super Takumar 55 f2 m42 mount? I've looked on several pages but can't find any evaluations (just specs). My daughter is taking a photo class and needs a manual camera. She really doesn't like the SP500, so I'm thinking of getting the m42 to K adaptor and sticking the superTak on the MZ-7. (I want to keep my FA50 normal for my usage, and besides the super tak has a much nicer feel on manual focus.) I can get the adaptor locally (generic) for $17 or for about $20 with shipping from B&H (Pentax). I could also just buy a non-F 50 form KEH for $45-60. I know the teacher wants manual focus and everyone will feel better if the camera just can't AF.
