Would you bother with the 12mm F2, 17mm f1.8 or 45mm f1.8 if you had the 12-40 f2.8 Pro?

Given the fact that the 45mm f/1.8 is slightly beyond the reach of your 12-40mm, and is faster -- and I dare say, even a bit sharper -- and given that it is such a small, light, inexpensive lens, I would suggest that lens as a great addition to your 12-40mm.

You can get a brand new one from B&H for $299 -- that is a bargain.

It is outstanding for close up portraits.
