If weight/bulk are at all a concern for you, you'd be far better off saving your money a little longer and getting a superwide of some flavor instead of the 40mm. The 40 is HUGE (the chrome ones take I think a 93mm filter), and unlike the 38 on the Superwide, it does have some distortion at the edges.
This may be true about the old Distagons. However, the Distagon 40 CFE with FLE system is quite compact with no distortion at the edges.
