There is something special in M40, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's something in the rendering, I think. It doesn't shine in anything you can simply measure, but overall it's a pleasure to use and I really like the images it produce. Based on the reviews I didn't expect to like it this much, as I thought it wouldn't as good as 35/2 or the fifties and, to be honest, it isn't, but it's refreshingly different. Definitely in the pile of M's I'm not selling after I'm done with my SIC project. It's so fun to be out there all day with it as the only lens, that I probably keep it as my travel lightly lens.
I don't think I can give better answer at the moment.
