    Cons: 20 to 35 is not really much. There is no weathersealing and no USM. You can't get any spareparts anymore.

    Pros: Superb build quality (all made of metal). Optically this lens can mess with the 16-35 II.

    Summary: This is the "best-build-canon-lens" I ever used. Very good choice for landscapes! It is light and small. If you need a weathersealed connection, replace the bajonett with a new one; with gasket and the same thickness.

    Cons: is said to be old enough for canon to put in the lens musuem, will have no parts available if need repairs. oldest wide angle zoom, perhaps the father of all the wide anle L lenses.technology wise is in the post film era so noise is a bit nosier than new usm lenses.

    Pros: superb lens on par with all the new L lenses. fast focus lens even using old focus drive not usm model

    Summary: excellent for the money, if you can find any new old stock around, grab! very light lens smaller than present wide angle L lenses. for the current pros, people wont know what lens your using, as its from the film era !
