The Nikon can not hold a candle to the Canon EF 32mm f2. It has more barrel distortion, VERY bad bokeh, and more CA.

as does Sony with a $199 DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM. Canon is the only major DSLR maker without an affordable fast wide prime.

Nonsense, the EF 35mm f2 is only a 3rd of s stop slower. And the same size and weight as the Nikon.

The ancient 35mm F/2 is very old,

So? It is a nice lens.

it uses an ARC motor that is also very LOUD like somoene scratching a blackboard with a finger nail.

Ok, how is that for a nonsensical hyperbolic comment. The lens is actually quite silent in normal usage. And fast, and accurate.

I bought one and sold it within a month.

That is your problem. It is a nice lens.

It is time for a new Fast Wide Prime.

35mm on APS-C is NOT wide!

I would love to see an EF-S version of Canon 22mm STM for rebel dslr.

That is not possible (flange distance).
