Dave,
Let's say after you waded through a batch of opinions from the
"troops", you had access to both lenses to enable you to run your own
tests.
After eye blurring, mostly inconclusive comparisons, (slides or
digital?) you finally decided that the 31 were slightly "better".
How much is the "better
The 31mm limited is more than excellent - it's georgeous.
If you wnat a lens like that, you just pay.
I have tried it once. It is razor sharp fully opened.
But I admit it is very expensive.

products in the semiconductor manufacturing field for a number of years, I
