Thanks Larry, that's just what I was wondering.... whether I should get the 43 for better performance or the 40 for smaller profile. I wondered about how the K-1 would dominate the size issue anyways. Now I think you have answered my question. I've been using the 31 limited in this function, but its wider than I wanted and larger as well. I've also thought about the F50 1.7, which can be had pretty cheap and is sharp as heck and decently compact.
