Description #
It's more of a collection item than a lens I actually use. It's worse than the 50mm and worse than the 24-70, since the 24-70 already covers 40mm anyway. The only real difference is that this one is very small and still has an f/2.8 aperture.

I go for it when I want a slightly bigger focal length. Honestly, I've used it about two times. I think it's kind of useless. The one high point is that it has a sharper image than the 24-70, even at its lowest aperture. Everything else about it is pretty much the same as the other lenses.
