What you call my "fixed opinions" concerned so-called normal lenses,
so 28-31mm on APS-C or 43mm on 35mm film.
Recently, I was looking for an AF short tele for street and similar use.
I did contemplate the FA 77 for that.
It lost out to the DA 70, not because of its focal length,
but because of the slowness of its AF in comparison with the DA.
