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.

Pros: Constructive mechanics

Cons: Everything else

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. Returned

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.
