Hi Allen. Sandy Van Pelt here.
The FA31's magic is less obvious on crop, but it's still there. Embrace its wide open rendering and get close to your subject.
The DA35 is a fantastically sharp and versatile optic, but if you have the DA40 I wouldn't necessarily bother, especially if you have the brilliant DFA100WR for macro stuff.
I took both the DA35 and FA31 (crazy I know) on a trip to Italy last year, and the former is the only lens I didn't use. The others (10-17, 21, 31, 43, 55, 77, 55-300) got a hammering.
