Nice lens not much larger than the body cap
on July 25, 2012
Posted by: MNshutterbug
from St. Paul, MN
I originally purchased the 50mm 1.8 as a light weight, nonthreatening lens when traveling and shooting people abroad. I ultimately exchanged the 50mm for this 40mm. While a bit more expensive and slower, the lens does fit the bill for inexpensive, relatively fast, and light weight. The size is amazingly small...protruding only slightly more thttan my 5D MkII body cap.
I understand the lens is designed for the next generation of bodies, specifically video recording, but I think it is a great lens in any bag. It won't take much space or add much weight!
What's great about it: Small, light weight, nice build quality with a easy price tag
What's not so great: Fast lens, but at 2.8 not as fast as the cheaper 1.8 50mm...but much more solid construction
I would recommend this to a friend!
