Congrats on the wise lens choice. I also bought an EF 20-35 recently and
have had some fun with it.
If you're interested, check out my website. I have some distortion tests of
it up under photo tests, and some nature shots under 'walk in the woods'.
There is of course some distortion at 20mm, but very very little at 35. For
what I do, I can live with that.
