Gary: I've heard good things about the Sigma 20mm f/1.8, that might be one to consider. The 20-35L I had was very sharp, I'd say as sharp as the 17-40L I have now (and which is the lens your asking about, I believe), although I didn't own them both at the same time. Since you mention this is a new 20D, maybe the issue is the normal lack of in-camera sharpening and not your lens? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Well, this is interesting. I had always thought the 20-35mm was sharper than the 17-35mm. Also, we recently ran a comparison at a San Jose studio using a EOS 1D Mk II taking the same shots with a 20-35mm F2.8L and a Tamron 20-40mm F2.7-3.5. Wide open (both set at F2.8) and at F8, the Tamron was far and away superior to the Canon 20-35mm F2.8L away, that is fact. I was really surprised by this one. What I really want to see is how much better the new Di lense are.
