a great value
In this class of lens there's only a couple f2.8 rectilinear lens that are this wide. One is a very expensive canon and then there's this one. After checking out a lot of reviews and images on Flickr I decided to buy it. When it was delivered I unboxed and mounted it. The build quality is fantastic. The focus and "zoom" rings are dampered and smooth, it's a metal mount, quality finishes on the exterior, thick style lens cap. I own 4 other $200-1400 canon lenses and this one ranks up there. Charts show some "mustache distortion", but nothing that's noticeable unless you're taking a straight on shot of a brick wall, and even then you can correct it in Light Room with the lens correction panels.
As far as the usability of a super wide, especially on a non-full frame camera, like the Canon Xti, T2i, 60D(I have), 7D, etc,...there is no question that it's worth it because these camera crop your images with a 1.6 multiplying crop factor (if you're shooting with a 16mm you're really shooting 25.6mm equivalent.
I always take this out when I'm doing indoor shots of the family around the table, and even pop off a couple with it when me or my fiance are doing paid shoots for engagements, bridals, portraits, etc.
For the money you can't beat this lens. It will be a great addition to your photo kit.

Canon's best body for the money
We started with the t2i, then the 60d, after reading a lot of reviews and comparisons, the full frame of the 5D mk2 is the way to go. You get way better low light performance (1 stop), which is twice the light. That translates to sharper images in any condition and with any lens. That's what a full frame sensor is all about. Don't get too confused with the crop factors and wider shots, that's just a bonus side effect. Yes if you're shooting outdoor sports go with the 7D because the crop factor will give you extra reach on your lens, plus you get more shots per second,..and in outdoor you don't need the extra stop of light. Pretty much anything else you need to go with the 5D mk2.
