The Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM super wide angle lens is now available for only US$499.99 at B&H Photo. The original price was US$539.99, so you can save US$40. As a reminder, the lens offers a wide angle of view and an extended depth of field, which is a great choice for photographers shooting landscapes, architecture or reportage.

The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Super Wide Angle Lens is now available for just US$2,199. For your info, the original price was US$2,359, so you can save US$160. The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens is a bright lens that features completely redesigned optics, including two high-precision Aspherical elements and two UD-glass elements. This results in better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs. The ultra wide-angle lens has the shortest focal length in the line-up of L series lenses. Its diagonal angle of view is an impressive 114° – anything larger would be a fish-eye lens. This wide aperture lens is perfect for architectural, corporate, or other pro-level photography. [Product Page]
