Not all Zeiss optics are great classics, but this 21mm is.  With it and the new Canon tilt shift 24 and 17, we're finally getting some top notch wide glass.

Some test shots with the 21 are at http://www.16-9.net/lens_tests/canon1740_nikon1735/c1740vn1735a.html.


I might add that on the budget end the 35 f/2, if stopped down and cropped to 8x10 is very good.
