Simon,
i'm with you on this... which is why i think you might like the little Canon. a lot! as long as you don't mind the slow speed (f/4) is really the widest it should be shot, i think it's a gem.
i shoot so much through glass and the like, that sometimes i forget when i've judged a lens by how it cuts through such surfaces... the single coating on this makes it a little less hardy in those situations whereas, if you're shooting straight on, it makes it fab for black and white work.
