You are making an easy to make mistake here. The 20/2 is a specialized, 
high magnification macro only lens that requires the Auto-Tube or 
bellows for use. I expect you mean the 21/2, which is a general purpose 
super wide lens.

The problem with these lenses is that many Can*n users who bought 1D 
series full frame bodies found that the Can*n wide angle lenses aren't 
all that great with it. In their search for alternatives, one of the 
winners was the Zuiko 21mm lenses, both f2 and f3.5. The result was 
highly elevated prices for these, and to a lesser extent, the 18/3.5 and 
28/2. The big bump seems to have passed, but prices are still elevated 
from before the boom.
