Hmm, I often find myself using the FA50 1.4 at between 2.5 and 3.5. Do you think the 43 would be a significant step up for me?
Don't think so. In fact, I don't think 43 is all that special optically. 31 is biting sharp, and 77 has nice creamy feel and great bokeh. But 43? Well, I just don't see its specialty (okay it's small & metal). If wide open performance is important, I suggest you try 50/1.7.
