Of course you can keep it and adjust to it, but if you don't like it, you don't like it and never really will. I'd dump it and concentrate your use with the 25mm and 45mm primes you already have, with a light inexpensive zoom (the 40-150R?) available in your kit for real reach when you need it.

p.s. I just got rid of a lens I have used on rangefinder film cameras for the past two years - using it very occasionally. I didn't like it and finally took the hit and sold it.

Im all for this actually, sometimes it seems the best way is to slim down a kit, or at least pick one lens and take it with you rather than a bag full of gear, as tempting as it is to lug everything you own about, it probably focuses the eye with a more streamlined setup. Makes you work more!

Might just give the 45mm a go all weekend, see how I get on

happy snapping.
