It's supposed to be the same optical formula as the M 40 and I've gotten very good results with that on an ME as a stealth combination, but it will have a very different character on a digital body. The M is sharp enough on FF and the DA is supposed to be better on APS, (and is said to cover the 24x36mm format). The crop factor gives it the AOV of a 60mm on 35mm. I tend to use the 43ltd. for the same purpose on the *ist-D/Ds.
