Rebel XT 10-22 EF-S or 14L ?

[daniel_murphy1]

I have two Canon Rebel XT cameras. One is coulour, one infrared. At this time, I

have been primarily using the 17-55mm EF-S 2.8 IS lens. When I have a shoot

wanting a wide or long lens, I rent the 10-22 EF-S and a 70-200L. So, I was

thinking about a 14mm 2.8L. It's just a bit tricky finding a rental unit around.

Has any one tried one on an APS-C sized camera like this? I'm curious if the

image quality and wider aperture make it worth the loss of some angle of view.

The reviews of it on <a href="http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=27&sort=7&cat=2&page=1">FM</a> are less than favourable. Besides, you only gain 2/3 of a stop, which isn't too significant, and the reviews do not speak well of its optical quality. The main selling point (and price point) of this lens is the ability to use it on a full frame camera, something that technically can't be done with the 10-22.
