I am an enthusiastic photographer, I.T. Director, husband and father living in Southern California. I have one son who is living in San Diego. Spending most of time at local Botanic Garden. I had a trip to Cambridge UK last year when I got one day open slot while on business trip to London. Lovely town.
Great images with 40mm f2.8. For me, this small lens was always backup purpose.
Thanks for sharing.

Charles! It’s a small world for sure. Thanks for your kind words!
I’d taken the 50L out to the gardens a few days earlier and found that I preferred the shots with greater depth of field, so I thought I’d take the 40mm out and try some similar shots to see how well it compared, and I think it stands up pretty well! It might look a bit goofy on a large DSLR, but it’s a lot of lens for the money, I reckon.
Glad you enjoyed Cambridge – I’ve been here for too long now and I feel like the town is being spoiled by too-rapid development. Itchy feet.
Best wishes,
Al
