Exactly. I am just saying that lets not judge the 40/2 based on one jpg :-)
It is by no mean a great lens, but I do love the size.
However, I love the close-up as an abstract image on its own merits, esp.
the top half.

(hence it is on ImageCraft, rather than dragonsgate), but I think you
will see that the original is really better. There are some color
