Hi Andrew
But are the shots with the 20mm excellent quality? I have been looking at
various tests with pre production and production EOS1DS cameras and there
have been a few comments obout wide angle lenses not performing well. I have
the 16-35mm and 24mmTS lenses and am weighing up the merits of investing in
an EOS1DS (just had to completely re quote a large job for a long term
client to fight of a digital shooter). However this will not even be a
consideration if these lenses do not perform well. There seems little point
in buying a camera with a full frame chip if it does not produce high
quality with wide angle lenses. Maybe you could let us know your findings on
this score.

Thanks

Larry Bray
