I wanted to know what is the optimal f stop and the distance that one should set on this lens for the best performance on 7D body (and also on 5D3. I know 5D3 will yield a circle..)
Please advice..

It looks like you're shooting from inside an alligator's mouth. But considering the cost of the lens, it's not so bad. 5D3, 60D || 8 primes, 9 zooms

I haven't figured out any optimal anything with the lens so am interested in this thread's comments. Mine is the one with removable hood... I specifically bought that as I wanted to use it on FF body as well..
