Some interesting conclusions WRT lenses....
Thanks for pointing out the review. I read this and the Nikon D200
review. FWIW, right at this moment, I think I'd be more interested in
the Nikon were I thinking of buying another body. The Nikon seems to
have virtually the same features at half the price, and I don't know
that the larger sensor would net much of an advantage.

I'd tend to agree with Godfrey here. The D200 seems a far better deal
and a camera that will outperform the 5D in several ways. Actually, if I
were a Canon shooter, I suspect I'd still opt for the 20D over the 5D.
I'm also very disappointed in the wide-angle performance with L glass,
although I wish he had tested with one of the current L wide-angle zooms
(17-40 or 16-35 rather than 17-35), I suspect they might perform a
little better, at elast with regards to CA.
