Sounds like a deal to me but I think I'd pass...

Boris ... the 43mm has so many distortions that it's virtually unusable on
film cameras, and just barely acceptable on a DSLR with a Pentax-sized
sensor. I'll make you a deal: send me your 43mm and I'll send you a 35mm
and a 50mm. You'll end up with just about twice as many MM's and nowhere
near the distortion problem. That's TWO millimeters for every one you send
me! And, this week only, if you act NOW!, I'll pay for the shipping and
include a large cannister of my New! Improved! Photon Grease.

So, Bill, which of those is known to be present in 43 Lim?
Barrel distortion is correct.
Pillow distortion is that alarming softness that some lenses are
predisposed
to.
