Little problem here:
The 5dII accepts EF lenses only. The lens you have bundled it with is an EF-s lens. This bundle won't even work together.

Hi bipock,
Thanks for making us aware of this! You are absolutely correct that this lens will not cover the entire frame of the Canon 5D Mark II since it is designed for a DSLR with an APS sized sensor, and if it was used on the 5D the edges of the frame would be severely cut off. I have forwarded this onto the appropriate parties, and would expect that this will be remedied soon.
Thanks for posting,

Thats the least of the things to worry about mounting a EF-S on a 5D. The mirror will hit the back of the EF-S lens when you hit the shutter.

Hi bipock,
Once again thanks for letting us know about this. We have gotten this bundle taken down from BestBuy.com.
Thanks,

Really? You can bolt cropped sensor lenses with Full Frame Nikon DSLR's without damaging anything.

Nikon's DX lenses dont have the rear element protruding back into the body like Canon's EF-s. Its a Canons issue. Nikon doesnt have this issue.
