Hey Rich,Is the 17mm rectilinear? I'm in the market now to buy their 17-35 2.8L, but am considering some cheaper options if I can still go wide and not too distorted. I thought they only had 8, 14, 15, and then 20 for their EOS.

If I understand the term correctly, yes the 17mm is rectlinear. At the time (this is going back probably 20 years), this was the widest angle you could get before going fisheye.... Anyway, the 17 is a very cool lens to play and shoot pictures with...P.S. Don't ask me anything about what cannon is offering these days... you need to keep in mind that the lenses and cameras I am familiar with are from the days before auto-everything, multi spot metering, motor drive cameras that are around these days of which I don't have a clue about (I'm not sure whether a simley or sad emotocon should go here!)
