Nice one Chip. I'd love to have the Canon, and I dare say one day I'll come across one at the right time, at the right price. I'm in two minds about selling the Sigma - I originally bought it because it was a great grab lens on the D60, but it's just a bit too wide for the 1D for the street. I'm considering the EF 20mm (I like the discipline a prime gives for this kind of thing, so a wide zoom is not an option for me) but having had a couple of L lenses, I'm now spoilt and wary of plastic.... Any comments on the 20 mil?
