My memory is failing me ... ... wasn't that about the time APS was replacing 35mm as the next big thing? I'm sure I remember the push to 17 was to give similar wide angle performance to the 20mm on that format? APS had (coincidentally?) about the same format as the first digital slrs? Heck, it's less than 10 years and it's hard to remember ...
