Adam, I don't know the 35/2, but the 40/2.8 "pancake" (which I have), although an interesting lens at a slighly unusual focal lenght, is not as sharp as many other contemporary lenses.
IMHO you can't beat the sharpness and low price of a 50/1.7. Even a 50/1.4 would probably be cheaper than the 40mm which have a "collector's item" reputation, and they are both much faster then the pancacke.

I will do a bit of searching on eBay for the two lenses you have mentioned. What would be a proper price for these? As you know, it is sometimes difficult to discern what is truly a "good deal"--especially on eBay.
