Shel,

FA (AKA KAF2) lenses do not all have power zooming--in
fact, only the initial ones did.

See Boz's page:

http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/technology/K-mount/index.html

"KAF2 lenses without power zooming feature a 4-bit CPU
that is virtually identical to that used by the KAF
lenses, but it supports also MTF transferral. Lenses
with power-zooming feature an 8-bit CPU that
additionally supports the power-zooming functionality.
The body's central processing unit (CPU) and data
processing unit (DPU) interface with the lens' CPU are
responsible for controlling the digital
communication."

I've not noticed any difference except the absence of
MTF program exposure, which I never use anyway.
