40mm was a bit of a revelation for me. It’s a wonderful lens capable capturing both scenic, landscapes and portraits. Light weight and f2.5 make it perfect for travel and/or street adventures. There is a small mark on the paint work of this lens otherwise it’s in perfect condition with lens hood, cap and box.
