Other notes:

- I use my 11-16 on full frame at the 16mm setting, and I don't get too much vignetting. I did not test the Canon on that, as I didn't have full frame when I had access to it.

FYI, since the Canon is an EF-S mount lens, it will not mount on a FF Canon body. I know that someone here on dpreview did modify the mount of the lens to fit it to use on FF but I forget the end result. I do remember he was able to use it on FF for at least part of the FL.

The 10-18mm can be used without any vignetting on FF after modification, from 14mm or so to 18mm.. It will, however, always have soft corners, also stopped down and at 18mm. I suspect it will work fine with Soligor's 1.7x TC or a 1.4x TC from Kenko. Can't test that, because my 10-18mm is with a friend of mine at the moment.
