While the design is indeed different, the CL cam has a shorter steeper cam, the depth of field of the 40 seems to make up for the possible focusing inaccuracies. All anecdotal reports I have heard are that it focuses just fine. The 40/2 is an excellent lens, just as good as its contemporary 50/2 (11817).
