Sad thing is.. almost every lens flares - and there are ways to avoid flare - the 20-35 Canon offering is probably better than the Vivitar 19mm I had for K mount and I had no problems using the Vivitar even though everyone whined about flare. I think if you're careful in how you take the image, you can minimize or reduce flare.
That being said, I'd still like to get a hold of the 17-40mm f4 to see what it's like Cheers, Dave View my images online at Usefilm.com http://www.usefilm.com/browse.php?mode=port&data=603 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 7:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The lens that Pentax SHOULD have made... > Pentax probably COULD have made a lens similar to the Canon's non "L" glass > zoom If they did i would hope it was considerably better that the Canon 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5, which is a flarey hunk of crap. Maybe the 17-40/4 is to replace this lens due to inadequicies. >
