I was able to test this in a canon's store attached to 80D and i was really glad canon now has a cheap wide prime (1.6 x crop = 38mm equivalent) that can compete with nikon's famous cheap 35mm 1.8g AFS (1.5 x crop = 52mm) .

Except a f2.8 lens doesn't really compete with a f1.8 lens.

Any more than 24mm competes with 35mm?
