Widest Lens for Canon 5D?

Whats the widest lens you can use on a Canon 5D? the 10mm Sigma one we have has a ring around the whole image.

From a quick look on google it looks like 17mm is the widest that works properly?

The Sigma 12-24 should work I think.

What causes the black ring around the image? On the 10mm - something (forgotten), because even when zoomed in to 24mm the ring is still there.

Already have a 350 and 400, hence why we already have these lenses

The Canon 1Ds MKII is full frame isn't it? If so, then the Sigma 12-24 will work. See the following link for proof;

Those are really nice.

Any other examples but shot with the other (17-40L) lense mentioned?

If you're going to just say "the widest lens", then there are a few 8mm fisheyes that will work on a full-frame Canon. The widest Canon-made lens and the widest zoom that will work is the 12-24, though.

Edit: Scratch that, I misread.
