Hi,

First, look at my thread history, I did start a similar discussion some months ago.

Then, your asumption is not right, an EF 35 mm and an EF-S 35 mm would give the same field of view if mounted on a crop body. The focal length is independant of the sensor size.

But you are right to say that the FF equivalent FoV of a 35 mm on APS-C is smthg like a 20-22 mm lens.

The only prime corresponding to this is the EF-M 22/2 IS, for EOS M.

My solution: I bought the Sigma 18-35 1.8, a great lens. Check some reviews to make sure you don't miss its drawbacks (AF, no IS, size/weight).

Cheers
