40 is my wide angle and no joke. Even 35 feels sloppy wide to me. I quite like 40 and 75 as a pair too-- that's what I'm using right now on Fuji, with the 27mm WR on one camera and the excellent 50mm f/2 on the other.

Frankly, if the latter lens was a 55 or 56mm f/2, with all its other fine qualities intact, we would probably not be having this discussion.

This is why I'm hoping that any mk2 version of the 60mm keeps it's 2:1 macro ratio and focus falloff characteristics while only adding WR, a focus limiter, and has it's speed increased to f2.

If that happens and it's kept to around the size of any of the new 1.4LM lenses I'd gladly pick it up.
