Has anyone owned one of these and used on a full frame camera. In conjunction with a full frame camera, looks like it might be an even better toy than the 10-22 on a smaller sensor.
I used to own one, but when I did I had a crop camera. Only time it was ever used full frame was once for like two pictures with my wife's film SLR. Didn't seem to vignette or produce much distortion. Now that I have a FF camera, I kinda wish I had it back, but I like my 17-40 too much to let it go.
I own one and rarely use it - It's kind of dark in there - I have not thought of using it on a FF - I'll put in the hopper of things I need to do one of these days.
A careful reading of the reviews led me to believe that you want to stop it down quite a bit. Too bad. The 16-35 is more serious fun on the 5D than the 10-22 on the 20D becaue it is pretty fast as well as wide. I don't think it distorts as much either which is either a good or bad thing depending...
So maybe I'll put off this toy. There should be a prime in this range, you'd think.
Canon makes a 15mm L - but they are proud of it as usual, and it is a special purpose lens that will be low on my list of desires I am afraid. Now the 24mm L f1.4 sounds pretty nice though.

it's actually a 14L - and it's a fairly poor performer in the corners esp on full frame.

You're right Andy, the 15mm is a Fisheye. My mistake. Sadly there is not a 16,17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, or 23mm prime from Canon is there?? - just the 24mm f1.4 L - But that is pretty wide with FF for me. Or just shoot a pano if I need wider
I'll bet the Canon 14mm L is sharper than the forementioned Sigma 12-24 though.

i think popeye would be fun to have on the ff, but don't expect the edges to be really sharp...
