Thought this lens deserved an actual photo archive, instead of a growing thread over in the Canon EF and EF-S forum...
I'll start...

Ended up returning the lens. It wouldn't focus to infinity at f2.8 and I sent it in to be exchanged for another copy. The second Bower copy (new like the first) had worse problems. The left side of the frame was soft and coma at all apertures was terrible. I'm disappointed because I had intended this first and foremost to be an astrophotography lens. I also wanted a lens that could migrate immediately with me in the future to full frame. Bummer.
