Can I be the dissenting voice here?

Why do it?

35mm - Angle of view approx. 64 degrees
40mm - Angle of view approx. 57 degrees
50mm - Angle of view approx. 45 degrees

So a nominal 7 degrees difference between 40 and 35, and a nominal 8 degrees difference between 40 and 50.

Personally, I use this lens for street and occasional low light shots. I would rather have a bit more on the negative than a bit less. I shoot it as a "generous" 50mm as a result.

Regards,

Bill
