Yes, it is. And at least I did today what I was thinking about the last couple of month and what "alarsen77" mentioned one page earlier in this thread. I went to my dealer and purchased a 40 2.8.
Canons outrunning cashback offer here in germany saves me 25%.
Now the next step will be to get the 6D at least.
Chris - Awesome star shot. I keep wanting to try to get some images of the night sky but I would have to do a road trip away from city lights and just haven't found the time. Very nice work.
I don't. From everything I hear its an outstanding little lens for the price. I have a Canon 35mm and a vintage Minolta Rokkor 50mm in Canon mount so I never really considered the 40mm focal length.
I would imagine that 40mm would be an awesome lens for shooting street photography in the city.
Thanks for the kinds comments guys.
Top work from Luta as usual
I've read good things about the 40mm, but as I have a 50mm, its a focal length that's just too close to my current 50/1.4. There is a good thread about the 40mm pancake on FM.
