Maybe try the HD DA 40. It seems to work well on Full Frame and has excellent performance on apsc into the corners. No it isn't a speed daemon but it is the right focal length.

Did you provide full resolution options for review? If not I would do so in the sales thread and if so i would reference this thread for them to decide on their own. Because I think your own analysis clearly shows that a strong well informed consensus view has not been reached.
I am sorry that I did not tender any opinion, I don't own the 43, my interest is mostly curiosity. Perhaps posting more detail about what you find wrong, and posting shots from other lenses that show what you expect would also have moved the conversation along the path you needed in order to get meaningful feedback.

Web jpg looks are not definitive. Maybe post some full resolution RAW files and have people download them?

That sucks. My buddy who has a crop sensor K-x (I think) loves the 43 and sold me his 31 because the 43 was magical to him. So I have always wondered what I am missing since I have the 31 and 77 but not the 43. I have not been able to justify a 43 purchase since I already own the SMC DA 40 Limited and the F 50 f/1.7 and the FA 35 and the FA 31. Adding the 43 seems like madness. I'll be curious what others say, but if you are looking for another lens option I would suggest checking into an HD DA 40 Limited or a DA 40 XS or a SMC DA 40. They aren't legendary in the same way but they are different enough from the 50 that you might like the focal length on the K1. (I'm shooting on the K-3).
