Re: 32mm Vs other lenses for Astro (PICS)

Thank you for the detailed reply. Some lovely ones there. The 32mm lens works out about $650 in the UK so you can probably see why I'm waiting for a while. Canon may do a cashbook offer or something.

They may although it's priced around where we expected it to be when the specs were first released.  Having purchased the lens at a price that was $50 more expensive than the pricing announced by a competitor located just a block away, I chose to pay the extra money rather than wait for the official release date here (in Australia).   All the other stores are still waiting for their stock to arrive.  It looks like that one lens slipped through because no other store seems to have it and I'll phoned or visited all of them.

If you have the 22mm, it's a wonderful Astro lens and you probably don't need the 32mm lens if you already own the 22mm lens... although it's so darned bright that you may find use for it with comets later this year... or for creative photography in low light.  I'm just happy to have a bright lowlight lens to work with that's much faster than f/2.
