Tracsoft's 40 (MM that is)

I have been enjoying my new 40mm Macro so much that it is the only lens I am shooting with now. Thought I would start a daily/weekly posting from just this one lens.
Here is one I shot recently.



I just loved the texture of this.

I have always enjoyed shooting cemeteries. Old, interesting ones. I really enjoyed the writings on this one.

I keep thinking of buying this 40 macro. Its a great little lens and I love the focal lengh.
I think the only thing that has stopped me so far is having the 40mm bit covered in a 2.8 zoom.
Im also considering the 60mm tamron F2 as well though lol. Decisions Decisions !!!!!

Can you focus within an inch with that 2.8 zoom? For the price, you cannot beat it!

Shooting in cemeteries and old graveyards is becoming an obsession with me too. Would like to see more of your shots
