I would expect them to work quite well. The supposed changes due to
digital capture would have almost no effect on film. However there are
as far as I know only two D FA lenses available a 50mm macro and 100mm
macro, redesigns of the FA lenses of the same focal lengths. I suspect
that the FA lenses were more than acceptable with digital to start with.
