Gries,
I asked the same thing myself and it's the rarity of the lens and the fact
that the 40mm offers a split between the angle of views of a 50mm lens and a
35mm lens.
Some photographers will debate what the angle of view on a photograph is the
closest thing to the human eye, a 50mm or a 35mm. With a 35mm lens you
start to notice some distortion and they say with a 40mm there is none, or
at least none that is noticeable compared with a photograph taken by a 50mm
lens.
The lens is extremely thin and light, and focuses extremly close, 30cm and I
wish I had one, but I don't....
