Had the chance to go down to the city again recently, and took the opportunity to take along the Canon EOS 300D, mounted with the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, for the unplanned street shoot.

I have had the well-used and slightly beat-up EOS 300D for quite some time now, and have been using it for potshots around the house and the adjoining community field. The camera and lens kit was light and compact enough, and carrying it around was not really a hassle.

One thing I noticed as I went through the shots was that the camera was quite heavy on the battery, which was already almost completely exhausted by the time I managed to get the final few shots in. Not too sure what the problem is, could be the age of the camera itself, which is draining a lot more power than it should, or the original battery I was using that is not keeping its charge well. It was an excellent outing anyway, with the shots edited for the frames posted here.

The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, one of a pair of EFs that I have, is still in its excellent self, a favorite, and has always done well on each and every session that I had it mounted on the 300D. On the ASP-C sensor of the 300D, the 40mm STM is equivalent to a 64mm short tele on a full-frame 35mm camera, an excellent focal length that draws the view into a tighter composition.
