So while it is a good lens for video, I wouldnt use it for stills unless I really have to! Also, dont forget the goal here is to have a somewhat shallow DoF so much of the unsharp areas could end up in the bokeh (depending of your composition)... @Fadzter: I dont see it as such a big issue for video because: (1) video shoots at a lower resolution and (2) moving subjects are much more forgiving regarding sharpness.

I understand the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 also mounts on a full-frame body, and is usable @ 16mm as a "prime". Anything below 15.5mm on a 5D brings the barrel into the field of view as it's built as an EF-S. Excellent sample video here: http://vimeo.com/2850369 Also regarding the Sigma 20mm 1.8, there's a detailed review highlighting issues of sharpness at the widest apertures (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Sigma-20mm-f-1.8-EX-DG-Lens-Review.aspx). Is this significant enough in video to be an issue? Thanks for the fab comparison… very helpful.

It would not work with the 5D. As stated in Dan initial post, even on the 1.3x crop body, he is losing the widest part of the field of view, on a full frame body, it would be even worst (I even wonder if the mount wouldnt even hit the mirror!).

Also, 14@2.8 will not give much control over DoF unfortunately, which was the goal of the article. I still think the Sigma is the way to go for someone looking for bokeh / DoF control.
