![]() | Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L USM II Pros: Construction, portability, optical quality, AF Cons: Flare, but with that glass it's normal Opinion: Purchased used by RCE two months ago: a disaster! Low sharpness, little detail, corners kneaded even with intermediate diaphragms .....sent back for a Sigma 12-24. Here things have changed, but I have not been fully convinced: too sharp, little vivid colors, little or no distortion (which is sometimes sought in a super wide angle) and then an "impossible" weight for these optics. Here, this was perhaps the problem, I was looking for a super wide angle, not a zoom, so I tried again with the Canon 14 mm and I bought another copy (always from RCE), this time much more recent, and everything turned upside down! Spectacular in everything, sharp to the edges, beautiful colors that hold the comparison with my Zeiss, very acceptable weight and content, vignetting and flare in line with the focal length, lightning AF .....in short, what I was looking for in the wide angle I found in this copy and I dispelled the highly negative comments that circulate even if the doubt remains: have I stumbled upon a defective product (the first) or an unrepeatable stroke of luck (the second)? Maybe Canon has adjusted over the years the initial criticalities, the consequence however is that I gave up the Canon 16-35 f / 2.8 II and next to the 14mm to the 18mm and 21mm Zeiss without any doubt! sent on December 08, 2021 |
