Rafa,
There is a marked difference between the FOV of the 17 and 20.
Keep both, I did....

Rawfa,I've finally got my 17mm and I'm really loving it so far. I'm in Portugal with no access to my pc, so I can't post any results or view them on a pc monitor...so I'll have to wait a little longer to come to my final conclusions. I really love the fact that you can focus REALLY close to subjects and the fact that you can get dof from a moderate wide. I have the 20mm f1.7 coming and I was thinking about selling the 17mm (it came with the kit), but I'm having so much fun with the 17mm that now I just don't know. It's a shame both lenses have such a similar fov. It would've been cooler if the 17mm was like a 14mm or a 12mm.
With hesitation I can say I prefer the 35mm FOV (I also REALLY LOVE the fact that you can focus really close with the 17mm), but the 40mm is really faster. I will probably end up using the 17mm during the day and the 20mm at night for for particular situations where I need more dof. So far the 17mm is REALLY fun to use.Rawfa,
Let us know how you feel about the 20mm compared to the 17mm once it arrives. Personally, I prefer the 35mm FOV but everyone has their preference.
Yes, Luxor Vegas.Uwe, is the second photo a reflection? It looks really nice.
Sorry to keep flooding the thread here...just having fun with this lens.I think it's only fair that this lens gets it's shot too. I don't have it but as I will soon have it I'm starting to set my ground So bring it on, gang.
Love them all - well done :salute:A few from my trip to D.C.
I hope they are back by now.Uwe, I cannot see your photos. I use firefox but I've also tried with IE and Chrome and the pictures still don't show.
