Hmmm, and that was supposed to be the best of the Canon 16/17/20-35/40

I also didn't realize the 20-40 was discontinued, at least it's not in
the latest B&H print ad.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I was very surprised by this too. The interesting part to these
tests, as crazy as it may seem to some, is that they align very well
with the Pop Photo lens tests that everyone puts little faith in.
Noting this I have a new opinion of Pop Photo tests. Their tests show
the Tamron 20-40mm bettered the Canon and aparently it does hold water.

The unfortunate thing is that it once again shows how Canon's
wideangle program falls down. As good as Canon's tele's are, the
wideangles are really a weak point. This applies to the fixed focal
lengths as well.
The common reports of people using and getting better results from
Contax, Leica and even Nikon lenses on Canon DSLR's in preference to
Canon's own in spite of the inconvenience are fully credible, and
mirror my own experience.
