-----------------------------

Not sure about the past but Canon doesn't currently make an equivalent 
fixed focus lens.  They have a 20mm fixed focus but it's only about $400 
new and is not an "L" lens which is the designation given to Canon's 
highest quality professional lenses.  If it was an "L" lens the price 
would probably be 2-3 times higher and in the same range as the Zuiko glass.

The Zuiko is reported to have much better edge performance on Canon 
full-frame DSLR's than any alternative glass.  If you can afford a Canon 
full-frame DSLR the cost of the Zuiko may not be too much out of line.
