It would be good to compare with another 17-40 lens, just to see if you get same field of view as other lens, or do you actually get "only" 19mm. Is your lens still under warranty?

Exactly my thoughts, I may do that.

It is not a pressing issue though. But a good question, am I getting 17mm at the wide end, or, is the data from my lens read incorrectly?

It is an old lens 10 times over its warranty, I normally do not use it but tested it to see if it is good enough for my next trip. We'll be in the city a lot, a wide angle may come in handy.
