Margus, what are your findings about sharpness, specially wide open?
Supposedly (I insist, I can't compare myself) the FA50 is soft wide
open and DA*55 is quite sharp even wide open.

What is your take on this? Thank you.

Actually I would say they're both equally soft at max. aperture, but if you stop down to f/2.0, FA is better at corners. If you put 'em side-to-side at dpreview test, you'll see the same:

I made quite many tests as I had an opportunity to get DA* at very good price + sell immediately my FA. I still have my FA50...

BR, Margus
