Pros: Build quality, weight, sharpness even at TA

Cons: None of relevance. It's an ultra-wide angle and you have to learn how to use it

Opinion: Gift from my wife for her birthday. Found used at RCE in perfect condition. I did some tests both indoors and outdoors. I was looking for wide-angle lenses and prefer to use prime lenses. The quality seemed to me from the first photograph taken at 2.8 at home very good. I was surprised by the distortion control that in the 16-35 II used in the past was much worse. The weight and obviously the build quality are good. It is important to take into account the flare that often occurs when bright lights enter the field. In general, I am very satisfied with this perspective

Pros: Relative compactness (compared to its direct competitors), usability of the corners even at f/2.8 incomparable to all the compatibles tested to date

Cons: I'll update the review if any come up in use

Opinion: After trying four third-party competitors I had no alternative, I "risked" it (this time without the possibility of return) and it seems that this time we are there! Found used in excellent condition, indistinguishable from new, arrived in two days and immediately put on the "test bench", which is the garden of the house, where all the others had immediately shown their limits. I have to say that this time the result was amazing... Even at 2.8 the angles are perfectly usable although, of course, not perfect. To give an example, I found the same level of acceptability on the corners of the Canon at 2.8 aperture that I had found on the Samyang AF f/2.8 shooting at 8 aperture! Same difference with the Yongnuo AF f/2.8. Let's leave aside the comparison with the Sigma 14mm f/2.8, which is completely unacceptable. Obviously, everything is related to the amount spent, which was practically about a quarter of the new price at the release of the lens, while for the Koreans the price of the used was about 60% of the cost of the new one. In my opinion, there is no comparison. Obviously, this is only a first test of a few shots, but the same was also for the others tried previously, tests that were enough for me to decree the immediate return. Then, for heaven's sake, reading everything and more about this goal, well... it's certainly not perfection personified, but I think for this focal length it's still the best choice available today for Canon EF. I reserve the right to give a grade only after having effectively tested it "in the field".

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!

Pros: Impeccable construction, compactness, sharpness

Cons: In my opinion none

Opinion: An important lens that gave me beautiful shots of landscape and astrophotography. The onerous economic commitment has been amply repaid by this lens that has never betrayed my expectations. I separated from it because recently I am devoting myself exclusively to nature photography and I no longer do other genres. For the rest nothing else to add... indeed yes, aesthetically it is beautiful with its front lens and fixed hood. I part with regret.

Pros: Construction, size, brightness, AF, sharpness, colors

Cons: For the moment nothing, perhaps a poor resistance to the flare that requires some extra attention

Opinion: I took this lens a few days so it can not be completely complete nor definitive this review, but I wanted to say some things right away. It's the first time I've seen the faces of sharp people with a 14mm even at TA. The mystery of diametrically opposed judgments on some Canon products continues, I would easily understand the small differences between one judgment and another but the abyss that there is between "wonderful" and "cyofeca" just can't understand it. I have not taken pictures of stars or others that are normally done with these focal points, I have taken some shots of those I always do and behaves very well, several spans above various Samyang or Sigma that I had in the past and with size and weight decidedly contained p er an f2.8, we'll see further on if something terrifying comes out. Update: after some time nothing terrible has happened so I confirm the first impression that it is an extraordinary 14mm.
