Canon 40mm F2.8

Every since I got my Canon 5D, Canon 17-40mm f4 and Canon 70-200 f4 about say 3 or 4 years ago ( I got all of them around the same time), I have not bought a single lens since then. It has been a long time because any lens that is f4 aperture and below are either super expensive (RM5000 and above) or fixed focal length. I almost got the 28mm F1.8 however it was super rare in Malaysia and when I finally found one, I kinda lost interest in it.

That day I received a package from a friend who carried it from the US.....

I knew the thing I ordered was relatively small and this box seems a bit huge to contain what I ordered. So I took a knife to the box and this was what was inside....

This is why Adorama is such a popular place to buy camera stuff in the US. It was packed very nicely so that it arrives to its destination safely....

That is the lens box compared to the box it was shipped in. Why you ask I bought the 40mm F2.8? Well it is dirt cheap (bought it for RM450) and it is small. The small size is the one that attracted me the most. How small you ask?

Still not convinced how small it is? Check it out beside my next smallest lens which is the 50mm F1.4 (actually it ain't my lens, it is Amy's but I use it more and after married what is mine is mine and what is hers in mine anyway. Hehe).....

Here is how the 50mm looks like attached to my camera....

and this is how the 40mm looks on the same camera....

Looks like a toy when compared to the camera. Hahaha. I have yet to have time to take it out for a spin. I will post some pictures when I do. I have been reading some good reviews about this lens for the price....
