Please follow up with you impressions of this lens if you don't mind! I've been considering the compact 40mm f/2 for a while, but am not sure how significant the tradeoffs are, particularly when compared to the 24-70 at comparable apertures.
A small fast prime, for LOW light.
In LOW light that 1-stop over the 24-70/2.8 or 2-stops over the 24-70/4 makes a difference, either in shutter speed (1/8 sec vs. 1/60 sec) or ISO (12800 vs 3200).
I now make a fast (f/1.8 or f/2) prime (35 or 50mm equiv on a FF camera) a standard part of my kit.
I don't use it much, but sometimes it has been too dark for my slower GP zoom, and the fast prime is the only thing that worked.
Example,
FF kit = 24-120 GP lens + 35/1.8 or 50/1.8
APS-C kit = 18-140 GP lens + 35/1.8
m43/ kit = 12-60 GP lens + 17/1.8
