I use this lens on my 5D since many years, and now I'm uncertain if I have to buy the new II version. The new version seems better for sharpness in the corners and vignetting wide open, while this version needs to be stopped down for perfect results. Yet, this older type is smaller, lighter, less intrusive and allows to take pictures in situations in which that is not totally allowed... ;-) And if you are creative enough, its defects may become advantages... http://www.pbase.com/adalberto_tiburzi/kilian__ruthemann I always follow the rule "upgrade your brain first, then your equipment". Enjoy.

I don't use this lens much but it has been a respectable performer on the 1D Mk II. For fireworks, it can create stunning images that are sharp as a tack edge to edge: http://www.pbase.com/image/45872536 Also, at 16mm, the depth of field is very deep allow great near/far techniques in landscape work: http://www.pbase.com/snoyes/image/65545556 One thing I have found is you need to work from f8.0 to f16 for great results from this lens. http://www.pbase.com/snoyes/image/66236546

a great lens, not heavy as someone posted,with only one noticeable flaw : used at 16mm you will notice vigneting around the corners if used on a film camera or on a eos 1ds mk2.also remember not to use any filter when going to 16 mmm it also causes vigneting.
