Quote:For some reason, nobody seems to like the Canon 20mm f2.8.

This lens is unbelievable sharp in the centre, and stopped down to f4.0 also in the corners and the biggest surprise, it is very affordable.

The other gem is the Canon 40mm f/2.8 with a DXO score of 28.

Having these two lenses will make expensive wide angle zooms superfluous.

The Canon 16-35 f2.8 II has a DXO score of 20 and the 16-35mm f4.0L IS has a score of 19, although I would prefer the latter.
DXO is worthless, when trying to assess lenses. Your quoted numbers are a very good illustration of that. Better just ignore DXO lens "tests".

What is true is that the Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM is quite a nice little lens. Nothing UWA about it, though.
