DA Limited Zoom Club

**Oktyabr** · 02-05-2021, 06:14 AM - **12 Likes**

I think I love this lens. This is actually my second affair with the 20-40. The first time around, I just couldn't come to grips with the limited zoom range and sold it to buy a 16-85 instead. This time, it seems like my new KP was made for it and especially in the rainy winters of the Pacific Northwest, it rarely seems to come off the body.

@30mm f3.5

@20mm f3.2

@40mm f5.6 Some dew on moss in a small crack in old concrete. This lens is almost macro!

I joined this club today. My initial impressions of the lens are pretty good.

Maybe it was the conditions, maybe it's the HD coatings or maybe it's this lens, but I've never taken a photo that looks so much like it was taken with a polariser when it wasn't.
