Title: 40mm FLE CF and 35mm Distgagon on 645 format

Anyone can share your experience on these two lenses?
This will be used on 645 film or 645 digital back. Also, what about on 36mm x 36mm digital back?

Not exactly the same I know, but I use a 40mm T* Distagon C lens with an Aptus 17 back and it is by far my most-used glass. I appreciate you'd be covering a wider area but I'm delighted with the apparent lack of distortion, sharpness and saturation of images. Even shooting in to the light it is surprisingly good. I haven't yet found the sweetest aperture yet, Anyone got experience on that one? I'm sure the latter lens will be an improvement on it, if budget allowed I wouldn't hesitate. Craig
