I got mine after a friend had gotten one for her EOS3. I love it. U have used it a lot on my film and Dig bodies. The quality and sharpness are great! Also a lot of fun to do close up work, as the distortion then is fun, esp on full frame cameras like the Canon 5d. This lens blows anything from sigma out of the water by a long shot! I compared it to the Canon model at almost twice the price, and the canon might focus a tad faster, but image wise both looked about the same! This lens ROCKS! Its a great lens for anyone wanting a WIDE angle lens. I love my Canon 17-40 F4 L series (found it sharper than the 16-35) but there are time you want wider, and then the 14mm is perfect!
