Conclusion: Sometimes you get much more than you pay for, like with the 28mm 2.8 lens, but most of the time you get what I got here. This is really not a great lens.
Pros: cheap
Cons: very soft in the corners, not much sharper in the center.
Conclusion: I bought this lens to complement my 5D (full frame body). It works fine, but it has VERY noticeable barrel distortion at the 20mm end, where I would be using it most.
Pros: Small, lightweight and takes front filters. FTM and the USM are nice features, too.
Cons: BARREL DISTORTION at 20mm. Don't buy it expecting to shoot things with straight lines in them.
Conclusion: I may have a bad lens and have used it for a few years waiting to get something better. Then I tried the Tamaron 19-35 and liked it better.
