Just for simplicity (to make it easier to compare the K-mount 50's), I put
the Pentax and Ricoh lens charts on a page at

http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/xitek50/

If anyone can come up with English translations for the Chinese comments
below each chart (on the original site), I'll add them, too.

I think that the charts pretty much confirm my own experiences, although
I'm comparing all A lenses (substituting my A models for the FA 50/1.4 and
FA 50/1.7 lenses).  That is to say, I ~still~ think that -

1.  My favorite 50 is the A 50/1.4.

2.  The A 50/1.2 is a better lens than some people give it credit for.

3.  The A 50/2 has a high "bang for the buck ratio".

4.  And then there's the A 50/1.7...
