I know the Canon 35mm/1.4L is a sweet lens. Anyone have any idea if the 28/1.8 and 35/2.0 are any good? They are considerably less money. TIA.

Somewhere on the web - one of the esoteric B&W 35 mm threads I think - I read a review of the Canon 35mm f2.0 which was very favorable. They said it was very sharp and had a lovely bokeh. I have not heard anything about the 28mmf1.8
I just tried to see photodo.com's rating of it, but photodo.com is not responding for some reason.

merc, I just enter the formal lens of the name in Google. You can quickly find reviews that way.

pf, the 35 f/2.0 review you speaketh of, is right here on petteri's site (http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/Reviews/da_Canon_35_mm_2/a_Canon_35_mm_f2.html)
