I am not using it at f2.8 just making a comment.
I agree the canon 24mm at f8 to 11 is very good
I typically shoot landscapes at about F8 to F11, so edge softness is less prominent. Why are you using F2.8 for that?

I agree. The cz21mm distagon is sharp throughout even at f2.8. I have the canon24mm and it is decent but not stellar ___ Sent with SnapperMail <http://www.snappermail.com>www.snappermail.com

Very sharp in the centre but soft at edges. It is brilliant for low light reportage but not good for landscapes. I find my Leica WA lenses considerably better than my Canons but the Canon teles better than the Leica ones I own. I find the IS lenses less good than the old non IS teles, probably because of the excessive element count with the attendant potential for manufacturing variation. Obviously used hand held the results will probably be better with IS, but handheld with a long lens the quality of the result is unlikely to be limited by the lens! Frank

You may be right. But these days the vast majority are using zoom lenses. And in that market Canon rules. However, for a wide angle, I would say it would be hard to beat the Canon 24mm F1.4. A superb wide optic.
