EF 20mm f1.8L VS. EF 14-24 f4L

[Razor2012]

Yes, if the 14-24 was f2.8 then that might attract a few more people to it.  In UWAs a little zoom goes a long ways, 14mm to 24mm is huge, but at a cost of a few stops.  I'd opt in for the 20/1.8 if it was on par with the amazing 24/1.4 Mrk 2.

I could live with F4 if the IQ was in line with the other two.

I have a 20mm 2.8, and it is an amazing lens.  However, drop down a stop and give it L quality...  That would be a killer lens.

I know it seems like it is way too close to the 24 prime, but when you start getting wide angle, each mm gives it a VERY different look.

I would probably want to get an EF 14-24 f/2.8L if its image quality is an improvement over the EF 16-35 f/2.8 II. The latter is a little weak in IQ in the corners and at the long end.
