Panasonic Lumix S 40mm F2 (S-S40) lens additional sample photographs

The following sample of photographs was created with the Panasonic Lumix S1R II, complete with the new Lumix S 40mm F2 lens, on loan from Panasonic UK. I wouldn’t typically use F2 for garden photographs intended for magazine work, but this is a lens review and using the lens wide open like this gives you an idea of how it performs.
