I ran around for a while with an A50/2.8 macro on my Super Program as the normal lens. It's OK, but I missed the f1.4 or f1.7 of my other 50's. After a while, the viewfinder is notably dimmer and those extra stops are missed. Differences in sharpness were not apparent in every day subjects. Regards, Bob S.
