Pros: Sharpness - Value for money

Cons: Distortion

Opinion: Bought and then sold to make room for a 16-28 Tokina many years ago, I bought it the day before yesterday on the bay at a price that screamed buy me buy me (€80.00). Walimex pro the first and Walimex pro the second, sometimes destiny... What can I say about this lens if not confirm the initial impressions: used on full frame and aps-c it has always returned me excellent photos. Great sharpness, great contrast and natural colors. Distortion is not its forte, obviously given the focal length, but it can be corrected in post in a decent way. The ferrules are smooth and the construction good. The lenses give excellent sharpness and the flare resistance is very good (the Tokina 16-28 is embarrassing in this respect). I missed it and bought it again!

Pros: Optical quality, colors, sharpness, angle of view

Cons: Approximate MAF ferrule, distortion

Opinion: Initially purchased used to take interior photos, it allowed me to take home some beautiful shots set on the occasion of weddings. I appreciated it for the features described above, I add the robustness and ease of use (with its limitations, lack of exif data on Canon), the MAF ring is a bit out of balance and the distortion sometimes requires some precautions in post production, however without many automatisms I found it fun to use (albeit with its limits of use) in any case recommended for the quality / price ratio for those who start with these types of wide angles Pushed. Vote 9 full.

Pros: Optical quality, price and ease of use

Cons: You can't put screw filters on

Opinion: I have the canon 16-35 f4 but I wanted something at 2.8 for my Full Frame without spending a lot, as I got a bit tired of these automatisms that the latest Canon creatures have so I thought it could be the right solution and so it was. I would recommend it to those who are doubtful about buying

Pros: optical quality, price, colors

Cons: Inaccurate MAF bezel

Opinion: I took it used to photograph the aurora and for special shots, I am very satisfied with the image quality and the possibilities it offers for original shots. The construction is solid and the ring is nice fluid even if the indications are not very precise, with mirrorless manual focus is not a problem

Pros: VERY

Cons: Distortion, MF, inability to put screw filters, no IS

Opinion: Lent by a friend and used enough to decide which wide angle to buy. I'll start by saying it's a best buy. Even if they have made later versions, finding a good specimen at a good used price is a bargain not to be missed. Watch out for variability, if you can test it first. 14mm give a very wide angle of view. It has no autofocus but the dial is very smooth. The 2.8 diaphragm allows you to shoot even wide-field stars. The backlight is a problem given the convex lens. You can not use screw filters but only expensive and bulky plate filters. There is a very obvious barrel distortion. If the copy is good the sharpness is so much and homogeneous otherwise if the copy is misaligned you could find yourself centered at an angle with record sharpness and a split angle. Try it before you buy it. For the rest, for the price especially used, it is recommended
