Sheesh! I wasn't trying to say anything against 40mm lenses.
The only thing I have against the Zuiko 40/2 is the price.
All I was trying to do is give a little info and a possible idea of why
they didn't make faster ones.
The list-mum's comments on his Pent*x lenses may provide confirmation of
a specualtion I wasn't sure enough of to make it in print. I suspect
that a faster lens design protrudes just that little bit further back,
so for example, his lenses are 40/2.8 and 43/1.9. I don't see why the
odd focal length unless it was necessary to clear the mirror with the
mechanical details of Pen*x construction.
