allow me to add more confusion to your choice

why not consider the brilliant canon 24/1.4L II? i own it and absolutely love its bokeh along with wide focal length.

alternatively, canon 28/1.8 could be a budget solution but it's not in the league of canon 24/1.4L or canon 35/1.4L or even the new sigma 35/1.4 art.

i owned 17-40L and now own the 16-35L II but 24/1.4L is much much better than both of them in terms of bokeh with wide focal length.

best of luck for your next lens though

Compared to $1600 24 1.4 L, the $400 28mm f1.8 is a "budget" solution?

I guess it depends on whose "budget" we're talking about!
