With a two time crop I can also use it as a 40mm f1.7 portrait lens that's good enough on my 1080p screen.

Using the lens as a 40mm means a four time crop, which turns your 16MP into 4MP - not really bad, either.

I thought that from 20mm to 40mm is 2 time crop and the size is reduced to 1/4th? You got what I meant anyway. 4MP at ISO200 is plenty enough for portrait on web, people don't want to see every single speck on their faces anyway.
