When it first came out the 43mm f/1.9 ltd was crowned as the world's best standard
lens by Amateur Photographer in the UK, displacing their previous best, the Contax
50mm f/1.4 Planar.

It is surprising they did not design the optics of the FA43 properly consider it

Oh really? The 43 Limited is my favourite Pentax lens. It is a fantastic
performer. It's wide open performance is not as good as the 31 or the 77 but similar
to Pentax 50mm lenses.
