Yeah, they're not the same focal length, but they're close enough that I still get basically the same shot, plus the 28mm is about a quarter the price, and about 4x more portable.

I ultimately chose the 24L since the Canon is a lot more versatile and I don't shoot landscapes as much as I want. But if landscapes is the primary reason for getting a new lens, then I would definitely look at the Zeiss. Leica M | Sony a7R | Fujfilm X-Pro 1

May 11, 2011 11:10 | #22 Well, I ordered a nwe lens from BH. But I did not go with the 24L. Instead I went with the 35L and decided to keep my 17-40L for landscapes. I think I'll be happy. Going to sell my 50 and 70-200 now. Thanks for the replies guys! 5D Mark 2 Gripped

May 11, 2011 12:23 | #23 I'd prefer 35L on full frame FOV wise. I do like the weather sealing and better coatings of the newer 24L II though. Have fun with it, I liked my 35L. Please visit my Flickr

Have fun with it, I liked my 35L. I originally wanted a 35mm but felt like I could make some extra cash to fund it if I sold my 17-40L. But I think I'll just be as happy with the 35 which is a well known lens. 5D Mark 2 Gripped

Buy a lens for your camera. They hold their value well and can be resold for close to or MORe than what you purchased them for. Mac P.
