So, if you like the look of a 24mm lens on a film or FF camera, then
you'll want a _rectilinear_ 15mm lens, or at least a fully
correctable 15mm lens. Your best bet is to get one of the short zooms
designed for APS sized sensors, like the Canon 10-22, Sigma 10-20 or
Tokina 12-24 that include 15mm in their focal range. The only fixed
lenses that come close are ones like the Canon 14/2.8, which is quite
large, extremely expensive and not that good.
You could always go this route:

Ido, I do! Just not Pentax.
I still use my old 15/3.5 Nikkor that I've had since the 80's on my
EOS cameras. Generally better performance than what Canon offers in
that range, except for flare.
Actually, at present I mainly use a 12-24/4.5-5.6 Sigma in that range
by preference, as my copy is quite good and definitely better than my
16-35 EF lens in the range that they overlap.
Since I still have a number of manual focus Nikkors for my F2, I
still use many of them when auto diaphragm action isn't required, and
I either don't have any Canon lenses in that range and/or Canon
doesn't have anything that compares reasonably. I have a 100/2.8 USM,
but use the 55/3.5 Nikkor (a lot better in the macro range than the
EF50/2.5) and the 200/4 Micro Nikkor, as well as a 400/5.6 Nikkor
that is significantly sharper than Canon's EF 400/5.6, just with
crappy handling. The Nikkor on the 5D gives great quality, but it
sure isn't as convenient as the 100-400, or even the 400/5.6.
