5D & Tokina 11-16mm

->> I have read some feedback about this combo from other places around the web, but honestly I trust the feedback from this group much more. My question is:

Does anyone have experience using the Tokina 11-16mm on a Canon 5D Mark II?

I know that there will be heavy vignetting at all focal length below 14mm. But how is the lens from 14mm - 16mm? The bottom line is that I am looking for something than can be used on my 7D as well as my 5DmkII. I would love to have a 14mm AND 11-16mm, but the economy just won't allow it. Therefore I am looking for a universal solution.

This camera lens combo works well! Of course the lens is only usable from 14-16mm on a full frame, but it is better than almost $2k for a canon 14mm. Additionally it is great on my Mark III from 13-16mm and of course on the 7D with the full 11-16mm. The bottom line is that for less than $600, you can have a lens that fits your wide angle needs no matter the crop factor at hand. And the focus is stinkin' sharp too!
