Mt brain can't handle more than one lens for a focal length and the 43mm was too close to 50, so I'm glad it found a good owner. The only double I have now is the Nokton 1.1 and the 50/1.4 ASPH. The 1.1 is so inexpensive relatively speaking that I just couldn't resist, and it does work well at 1.1 (and above of course).
