How is the 40mm? At first I thought about getting one since they're cheap, but then I figured I already have the 50mm. The 50mm is working just fine for us, and it's nearly the same length as the 40mm, and the 40mm is not as fast. So my second thought was what's the point in picking up a 40mm, even for cheap?

I know you weren't terribly happy with your copy of the 50mm. You've had the 50mm, and now the 40mm. Ignoring sharpness, just considering field of view, is there enough difference to make it worthwhile to own both?
Thanks, David! IMO, no reason to have both the 40mm and the 50mm. I wouldn't have bought it new since I didn't really need it at the moment. I still have 50mm covered in two zoom lenses but when I saw it listed LNIB for a super cheap price, I snatched it up. I think it's a great little lens and if I end up with only a couple inexpensive lenses in the end, at least I will be able to keep shooting to some extent!
