I haven't had a great lot of time to do tests with the 43mm Ltd, but it sure is a comfortable lens to hold.
On the discussion about UV filters, there is definitely a difference between nekkid lens and lens with the cheapie UV filter. But not as much as I would have thought. These two shots are a bit of a torture test (29.jpg is with the filter, and 30.jpg is without). Not particularly interesting photos I admit, but it's interesting to see how much flare affects the image (like around the headland - Mrs Macquarie's chair). When not shooting into the sun, it really isn't that noticeable. I'd left the hood at home too.
