Hi Brighcolours!
Thank you for your detailed answer.
Originally I was thinking about the Canon EF 28mm f1.8 USM for the angle of view, the usm and the fact that I have already the lens hood (same as the 28-105) and the polarizer.
However, as you highlight, the delta between the test and the users review is far too important. I'm a bit lost with this lens.
The 35 looks to be my second choice (my "dream" lens is the 35 L 1.4) However I found sometimes that I prefer the angle of view of the 28mm on the 40D...
In final, the image quality, within my budget, is for me the most important.
How really compare the 35 vs the Canon EF 24mm f2.8?
Maybe you and somebody else could bring his "stone" to help me with the final choice <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I can't help you there yet, in terms of just how good the 24mm f2.8 is, as I do not own the 24mm f2.8 yet.
Focal length wise, it is the difference between 35mm moderate wide angle and normal prime.... so the classic 35mm and 50mm for full frame.
The reason I am considering it in future (the Canon 24mm f2.8) is because I want a lens for wide angle close-up stuff, and this compact one may just be good for that (and it will double nicely as street photography lens), and the very positive user accounts:

If you prefer a wider view than the 35mm will give you, then that is the way to go for you. And my personal choice would be the 24mm f2.8.
