A Tale of 2 Canon 40mm 2.8 Lenses.......
1

Just a short comment on this lens. I heard about the 40mm 2.8 for a long time but held off for a while. Bought copy 1 online.....was in pretty nice shape. But the pics were not "amazingly sharp" like I was expecting/reading online. I really tried to like it but when I went back to my 22, 28 and even 15-45 kit lens they seemed sharper/clearer.

I sent the lens back and got a refund.

Then I kept thinking and thinking about it. A 2nd copy showed up for cheap and I just got it. Amazing! Pristine condition and seems as sharp as my 22mm f2.

Any other similar experiences with this lens? Am quite happy with the 2nd copy.

Dave
