The one reason that I'd shy away from the 40/2 would be the focusing direction, 
if it's different.  It'd drive me crazy.  I could probably deal with the 
aperture direction.  But I won't ever buy a system for real use that turns in a 
different direction than my OM's or Leica's.  

The performance is likely to be very, very good though.  Those new SLR lenses 
from Cosina are top-notch.

So what are you going to do with the credit?  A RF lens....nudge...nudge...?
