With the Canon, a 20mm lens is 20mm!
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.
