I'm selling SMC A50/1.4.
EX++ condition, glass is clean, no dust nor marks, aperture snappy and clean, in perfect working order. Body work is perfect shape, focusing and aperture rings work flawlessly. I'm asking £130 shipped via Royal Mail.
Pictures will follow in matter of days. If anybody would want them via email before I'll manage to post them here just let me know.

I do have both lenses, although I'll be selling 43 soon.
Like you I got 55mm (the DA*) and it renders 43 pretty much unused.

Anyway, directly comparing 43 against 31?
- 43 is smaller and lighter, but 31 is still not big
- 43 is sharper in the centre at any f stop
- 31 is sharper in the corners up to f2.8 or so, from there they are just about the same
- 31 has quite a bit more of "pixie dust" I don't know what it is but the way that lens renders is absolutely beutiful. Having said that, 43 has it's charms.
- 31 has nicer OOF IMO
- 31 focuses tad faster but might miss more often (at least when comparing my copy)
- both have hugely inadequate hoods but 31 more so.
- I prefer colours of 31

Personally, I'd recommend the swap. 43 is great lens and it's very small and portable. If you are careful with your backgrounds it delivers great shots. 31 is easier on backgrounds and seems to have better contrast and colours IMO. It's bigger lens but not really big and one really bad point is the useless hood.
