The FA 50/1.7 went out the other day and I'm glad to see the back of it as one of the few lenses I lost money on. Bought before the DAL 50/1.8 came along, prices for AF fast fifties were much higher. My elder daughter knocked it and a camera onto the floor once and I had to have it repaired, the repair didn't last long but the pandemic had hit and I couldn't take it back for them to complete the job. Despite phoning and being told they'd honour the guarantee for the work until after free movement was restored, they did not, so I had to pay twice for the same repair. That lens is the closest I've come to a photographic money pit.
