I used all three lenses on my 35mm film gear, they just loved being on the LX however my 31mm ended up being my defacto walk-about lens, great AOV and feel. Of course if you are more used to walking about with a 50mm lens then the 43 might suite you better. However I will say that I no longer own the 43mm, it wasn't great as a manual focus lens due to it's very small dimensions and consequential very thin focus ring. Finally I really don't think it's optically as good as the 31 or 77 but I'm sure other users will contradict me :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
