Technically, the 43mm was the first serious re-design of the standard lens for many years and took full advantage of all the progress in lens technology and design that was available.
However, the 50mm lenses were already superb lenses, so although in theory the 43mm might be a superior beast I'm not sure how much this would translate into a huge difference on a print, even a very large print.
Any 43mm users out there who can tell us differently?

I find I use my 43mm so seldom that I have never really formed an opinion on this. However, I would say that the 77mm and the 31mm ARE observedly superior to any 50mm, so probably the 43mm is too.Technically, the 43mm was the first serious re-design of the standard lens for many years and took full advantage of all the progress in lens technology and design that was available.

is the 43 ltd so much better than the FA50 1.4?
I know it is far better built than the FA, but would I see the extra cost in my prints?
Merry xmas!
