Man.. will you guys all cut out the discussions on the FA 31/1.8 Limited !! I'm doing everything in my power to NOT order one from B&H or Adorama... wide angle goodness will be mine but not until later this year :)

I didn't put two and two together and realize that the petal shape was a deliberate compromise for size.
