The 40 is a pretty decent little lens providing you can live with it's size and speed. It's not at it's best wide open, but I haven't seen many lenses that are. I haven't used a 43/1.9 enough to say if I like it or not, but most everything I have read about it has been praise. I believe Alan Chan thought it had some barrel distortion and kind of wonky bokeh with OOF specular highlights. I'm liking the F50/1.4 a lot on the K10.
