I like 40mm for all the same reasons that have been mentioned. It seems 
most natural to my eye...not too wide but not 'normal.'

If I could get Sherry to place a 40 frame in my M5 (or better alter the 
SummicronC to bring up the 35 frames in any M) I'd be in heaven. It is JUST 
right in between the two.
