The 15mm is also found in a screwmount, yes - but very rare and will fetch upwards of 5 or 600 bucks US. I mentioned cost, but actually the 85 mil isn't cheap - I paid nearly $700 for mine and it's not mint! Just like the old style sometimes - it helps me on my inevitable path to becoming an old fart. The Canon L lenses are brilliant, and for AF, I couldn't imagine using anything else other than USM - the focussing on my zooms is so quick, any non-Canon user is blown away by the performance :-) Along with IS, this was why I switched to Canon a few years ago when I decided to go all- digital. The choice was a good one.
