Opinion:I had in practice for a weekend by my trusted shopkeeper this lens (I wanted to replace my Voigtlander 15 with ring for practicality and for autofocus) I was deeply disappointed, very soft up to f8 and with a value for money unacceptable, I didn't even like the lower colors definitely at 16-35 f4.

Pros:All.
Cons:Nothing except having to buy a dedicated holder to use the slab filters from 150, but incidentally it is a 14.
Opinion:I had to test this beautiful lens for about a month, I promised myself to buy it as soon as possible, excellent sharpness already at full aperture, L-series construction, distortion where are you? Compact and light, the AF is very fast and precise, in the photos of Interiors excels, in short, for me it will become part of my professional kit very soon. I wonder if anyone who wrote catastrophic judgments on this lens, knows what he's talking about, I reckon not.
Pros:Only the mechanics of a series "L" for the price to which it is proposed.
Cons:High amount of CA at the edges; The protrusion of the lens, compared to competitors, is more prone to carry with if ghosting; From F 8 We can have a sufficient sharpness even at the edges.
Opinion:I was looking for, and given the test done in the field, not satisfactory, I still try a fixed L series of canon; Thanks to a very dear friend who lent me a weekend to test its validity I decided to move on. As the possessor of the excellent Tokina 11-16 F 2.8 Fixed on the entire focal length, I can certainly affirm that it remains more competitive in terms of overall yield, while being a zoom and costing only 1/4 of the Canon 14mm. Test done on the field also with the Canon 8-15 F4, it remains more performing on the whole focal length and above all with greater homogeneity, having also, for those who look for it, a very funny and captivating perspective for certain particular conditions of shooting. Here the price of the lens remains absolutely unfeasible compared to the overall performance, both because L series and because of fixed optics! If in the production following the first step of 2007 have brought some improvement, you should try the goodness of the last pieces produced to have a certain term and final comparison.
Opinion:I wonder about the Canon engineers when they designed this lens what they had in mind. It is less sharp than the Samyang 14mm f/2.8, along the edges pulls out hallucinating chromatic aberrations (which do not disappear by closing the diaphragm), the sharpness at TA is tremendous in the peripheral area such as to render it unusable for nighttime photos. Ok is reasonably sharp in the center, but what do I do with a 14mm with a uniform sharpness exclusively at F11 (online graphics Videsi)? By the way all this for €2,350 official Canon price. The only "value" is the autofocus, but that at this focal length leaves the time it finds. I wonder the people who wrote the other enthusiastic reviews how many degrees of myopia missing has, because objectively it is a lens that does not deserve even 3 \ \ 10, and the value for money is the worst that can be found in a goal. The only positive note is the lack of distortion, especially when compared to Samyang. Pity that then with a click the distortion of the latter disappears, and the only thing that remains from the comparison is the deep bitterness for having thrown €2000. Compare it for example to a Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8, and you'll understand how pitiful this comparison is, all considering the price of the batis of not even €1300. NB: I had both lenses, I tested them next to each other, and I have seen with my bitterness all that. But if you don't believe me there is a thorough online review that will clarify all your ideas.
Pros:Robustness and sharpness on my own already af 2.8. Absence of distortion also used full-frame, focus fulinea
Cons:Nobody except the price
Opinion:From my experience is irreplaceable in the landscapes pushed, example New York there 'everything and does not distort, like other lenses, in short for me to advise, of course if one can afford vignetting almost non-existent 2.8 disappears altogether at 4 can you put all as I said without distortion in urban landscapes, metropolis, etc., you can also put Grand ziro in it
Opinion:I have this perspective for more du two years and I must say it has an amazing clarity of f.4 e'impressionate, I use it on my faithful DSIII, rne I must say that I would not change with no wide-angle Canon optical except with the 11 / 24, rnsi zooms are comodirncoemil 16/35 f.4, but does not take the comparison with the 14, and 'a fixed lens and then has all those chernuna fixed lens strengths can dare.rnnon cartoon, disarming clarity and flare almost absent, rnottica Highly recommended to those who like the super grandangolari.rnvoto 10 with lodern
Opinion:I tried several wide-angle, but as sharp as I think this is hard to find. Speaking of this magnitude. Before buying it I was lucky enough to try it. A 2.8 and 'already clear though and' a focus that I will never use, because I do landscapes, I've heard of all colors of this lens, but from what turns out I highly recommend it
Pros:firmness, clarity, construction, speed of use (AF)
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:I have read many negative opinions about this lens ... including pure review of juzza landlord who even raises, lower than the canon 16-35 ... this is not my experience ... Many negative aspects were addressed the list price of 2300 Euros, but now is a much cheaper price and then everything takes on another aspect ... is a lens from disarming sharpness, compared to the previous version there have been significant advances especially from the point of view of and the sharpness of the ac correction. I think the only real rival is the Canon TS-17 and 15 and Zeiss, which, although slightly higher for the optical quality pay both the fact of not being af ... I find this the best fisheye lens available for Canon, its reduced size also make it a companion that always finds space in your bag ...
Pros:Robust construction, high level of optical performance ..
Cons:The price !!!!!!! I svenai to lay hold on him, damn !!
Opinion:I use it for about a year now and I'm glad. Paradoxically, would remove the AF, I use it often in MF, indeed exploiting the hyperfocal. Ben did well to clear my uses I would not change it with the 17-40 it with 16-35f2,8 II from Canon. Given the 14 Nikkor, I prefer my Canon ... I read on the net here and negative opinions, I do not know why, maybe it also depends on what you expect from a piece from 2000, and euro switch ....
Pros:Excellent sharpness already 'full aperture, flare, distortion and vignetting is well controlled, fairly small size and weight
Cons:The price, AC a bit 'high but perfectly manageable in PP
Opinion:I had the opportunity to try it, even if I was not so confident seen everything you read on the net, but perhaps will be 'my copy successful, I have had to reverse the capacita'di this point, almost no curvature of field or at least a little annoying, and very clear already at f2.8 x other aspects, I repeat AC high but eliminated entirely with ACR with a simple click ... what can I say, I'm fully satisfied with this item!
Pros:constructed with great care, high sharpness at the center already f. 2.8 Distortion and vignetting very correct, taking into account the focus of which you speak.
Cons:The yield on the edge at the widest apertures (up to F: 6.3 - 9.5) is disappointing marked chromatic aberration at the edges.
Opinion:In my opinion the performance, though good overall, do not justify such a high price. In a comparison made with the Nikon 14-24 a friend of mine, on the edges wide open have emerged, unfortunately for me, really significant differences in favor of the Nikon, even though it is a zoom lens and optics sold at a price much less. I tested it with both my canon (D5markII and D7) and I can say that on APS C, where it is equivalent to a 22mm, the yield on the frame is much more uniform.
