No. The A 50's are not quite as nice to focus as are the M's (in my opinion). Plus, the A 50/1.7 specifically seems to have a weakness in the aperture ring design, where the plastic aperture ring sometimes starts to bind (but the other A 50's seem to be immune to this, as far as I know). Nonetheless, some users love their 50/1.7's (although I find the A 50/1.4 better in all respects except for flatness of field). Fred
