I had a copy of the F 50/1.7, which I sold thinking that my new DA 40/2.8 would replace it. Now I think I'll get the F 50/1.7 again, since it simply is an excellent lens. But the usages of the DA 40 and the F 50 are different. The DA 40 is much more usable for street shots: tiny, fast AF, excellent rendering, excellent flare resistance. The F 50 is a low light/party/portrait shooter. If I were to choose between the two, I'd go with the DA 40, which, in spite of the slower aperture, can be employed in more situations IMO. (Also a very nice portrait lens.) My 2 cents.
If you like the DA 21 & DA 70, you'll love the DA 40.
